. @Vanguard_Group is now the largest shareholder in Strategy, holding 20.6M shares nearly X% of the company, valued at $9–10B.

👉 This wasn’t an active bet.
Index funds did this. Vanguard still publicly blocks its clients from buying BTC ETFs.

But here’s the kicker:

- Strategy holds ~600K $BTC, worth over $72B
- Vanguard now indirectly holds Bitcoin through its passive exposure
- All while still calling Bitcoin “immature”

Simply put: they’re profiting from the very asset they claim to dislike.

Key Takeaways:

• Institutions are being pulled into crypto via index mechanics they’re no longer just passive observers.
• Vanguard’s position shows the tension between fiduciary duty and public narratives.
• This rise in passive exposure strengthens the case for regulated, scalable crypto infrastructure.

GM to everyone building in the gap between policy and positioning 🫡
