MicroStrategy shares jump as bitcoin proxy will join Nasdaq-100 index and 'QQQ' ETF
Published On Dec 16, 2024, 6:12 AM
MicroStrategy's shares rose after the announcement that it will be included in the Nasdaq-100 index, which takes effect on December 23. This inclusion is expected to lead to increased investor interest and passive inflows because MicroStrategy will also be part of the Invesco QQQ ETF that tracks this index. The company's stock has skyrocketed 547% in 2024, driven by surging Bitcoin prices, and MicroStrategy has recently acquired over 15,000 additional Bitcoin, making it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
