Overview
- Vanguard disclosed a $505 million inaugural purchase of MSTR, with total exposure across its funds estimated at about $3.2 billion.
- VanEck increased its holdings to roughly 284,000 common shares and also owns preferreds STRK and STRF, as its research head rejected claims the firm was bearish on Strategy.
- MSCI said it will not exclude digital‑asset treasury companies from benchmarks, preserving Strategy’s index inclusion and removing a potential forced‑selling catalyst.
- Bitcoin traded above $95,000 this week and MSTR shares stabilized around $173, holding above a cited $149 base after recent declines.
- Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings are about 687,410 BTC, leaving the stock highly sensitive to BTC price moves despite earlier dilution and a large unrealized Q4 loss, with insider Carl Rickertsen recently buying 5,000 shares.
