Over 13K institutions exposed to Strategy as Saylor hints at BTC buy
Michael Saylor indicated a potential upcoming Bitcoin purchase by Strategy, which currently holds 531,644 BTC valued at over $44.9 billion. The company recently acquired 3,459 BTC for over $285 million. As of Q1 2025, more than 13,000 institutions and 814,000 retail accounts have direct exposure to Strategy, with an estimated 55 million beneficiaries having indirect exposure through various financial vehicles. Strategy's approach involves issuing corporate debt and equity to finance Bitcoin acquisitions, attracting capital from traditional markets into Bitcoin. The company's inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 is expected to further increase capital inflows from passive investors. Additionally, 12 US states have exposure to Strategy, and Bitcoin ETFs have seen approximately $2.4 billion in capital flows year-to-date, providing stability against market volatility.
