Amundi increased its MSTR position by 148%.
The asset manager now holds 1.32 million MicroStrategy shares.
The update reflects continued institutional exposure to Bitcoin-linked equities.
European asset management giant Amundi, which oversees approximately $2.9 trillion in assets, has significantly expanded its investment in MicroStrategy (MSTR).
According to BTC Treasuries, the firm increased its MSTR position by 148%, bringing its total holdings to 1.32 million shares.
The move strengthens Amundi’s exposure to one of the most closely watched Bitcoin-linked public companies, as MicroStrategy continues to maintain one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries.
Institutional Interest in Bitcoin Exposure
MicroStrategy has become a popular investment vehicle for institutions seeking indirect exposure to Bitcoin through traditional equity markets.
By increasing its MSTR stake, Amundi joins a growing list of major asset managers holding shares in the company. The latest increase suggests continued institutional interest in Bitcoin-related investments, even during periods of market volatility.
While MSTR’s performance is influenced by multiple factors, its substantial Bitcoin holdings remain a key driver of investor interest.
