Michael Saylor’s strategy for accumulating Bitcoin has officially qualified for inclusion in the S&P 500 index, potentially unlocking an estimated $16 billion inflow for the company. This comes after the firm achieved a significant $14 billion unrealized gain last quarter, meeting the profitability requirement for inclusion. As per Bloomberg, Strategy Inc., formerly MicroStrategy, is currently on track for this monumental achievement. 50 million shares, representing approximately $16 billion in market value, are expected to be purchased by passive index funds if it’s included in the S&P 500. This would likely trigger a substantial increase in MSTR’s stock price. Saylor’s Bitcoin accumulation plan has faced scrutiny but this potential inclusion would represent institutional validation for his strategy, aligning with the growing recognition of crypto’s place within financial markets. 26 other companies are also vying for S&P 500 entry and while their applications are currently under review, Strategy’s strong performance stands out notably due to its high trading activity and efficient market access.
