SpaceX joins Nasdaq 100 with bitcoin holdings

SpaceX was officially added to the Nasdaq 100 index on July 7, local time, just weeks after its listing and shortly after it disclosed holding 18,712 bitcoin. JPMorgan estimated that the index rebalancing would drive about $4.3 billion of passive inflows from funds and ETFs that track the Nasdaq 100 into SpaceX shares. The move is seen as opening a rules-based channel for institutional investors to gain bitcoin exposure through corporate balance sheets.
