Strategy Stake Held by JPMorgan Jumps 36% as Bitcoin ETF Bets Hit $540M

JPMorgan increased its stake in Strategy (led by Michael Saylor) by 36% and expanded holdings in Bitcoin ETFs to $540M, including BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust. The bank also boosted its position in Coinbase. Strategy faces uncertainty due to MSCI's review of companies with significant digital asset holdings, which could impact index fund flows. JPMorgan's moves reflect broader institutional interest in crypto assets.
