Bitcoin's Mainstream Moment: Coinbase & Strategy Likely for S&P 500
Bitcoin's integration into mainstream finance is gaining momentum. Following Coinbase's impending inclusion in the S&P 500, another company heavily invested in Bitcoin, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), is likely to follow suit. This signals a significant shift in institutional acceptance of cryptocurrency.
Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, is set to join the prestigious S&P 500 index on May 19, 2025. This marks a turning point for Bitcoin, as it indicates that exposure to the cryptocurrency is now compatible with the highest standards of institutional eligibility. Coinbase's addition will provide millions of investors indirect exposure to Bitcoin through their index funds.
Strategy, with its substantial Bitcoin holdings of 568,840 BTC currently worth $59.16 billion, is likely to be the next company to join the S&P 500. Analysts give this a 91% probability, provided Bitcoin's price remains stable. The final announcement is expected on September 5, 2025, with changes effective September 19, 2025. Strategy's inclusion would further cement Bitcoin's place in the core of institutional portfolios via public companies' balance sheets.
Bitcoin's treasury strategy is becoming mainstream, with companies like Coinbase and Strategy leading the way. Their potential inclusion in the S&P 500 signals a new era of acceptance and integration of cryptocurrency into traditional finance. This trend is likely to continue, enhancing Bitcoin's visibility, flows, and perception in the capital markets.
