Also known as: MSTR Nasdaq 100, MicroStrategy QQQ inclusion

Overview

Nasdaq announced on 13 December 2024 that MicroStrategy would join the Nasdaq-100 Index in its annual reconstitution, with the change effective before the open on 23 December 2024. It was the first Bitcoin-treasury-focused company added to the index, giving the stock exposure to passive flows from the many ETFs tracking the Nasdaq-100, including Invesco's QQQ Trust. Analysts at the time debated whether the inclusion made eventual S&P 500 membership more likely.

Frequently asked questions

When did MicroStrategy join the Nasdaq-100?

The inclusion was announced on 13 December 2024 and took effect before the market open on 23 December 2024.

Why did it matter?

Index membership exposed MSTR to passive inflows from ETFs tracking the Nasdaq-100, notably Invesco's QQQ, and made it the first bitcoin-focused company in the index.

Did it guarantee S&P 500 inclusion?

No. Analysts suggested it could pave the way, but the two indices have separate eligibility criteria and Nasdaq-100 entry does not confer S&P 500 membership.
