An estimated 55 million more have indirect exposure through ETFs, mutual funds, pensions, and insurance portfolios.

Indirect Exposure

Strategy fuels its BTC buying spree by issuing corporate debt and equity, giving shareholders indirect Bitcoin exposure without needing to hold crypto themselves.

In December 2024, Strategy was added to the Nasdaq 100, increasing passive investment flows into $MSTR. By early 2025, at least 12 U.S. states, including California, Texas, and Florida, had exposure to Strategy through public pension funds.
