MicroStrategy's Nasdaq-100 entry attracts nearly $11 million of retail inflows
Retail investors poured nearly $11 million into MicroStrategy's shares on Monday, almost three times their average daily inflows this year, after the biggest corporate holder of bitcoin secured a spot in the Nasdaq-100 index. The data, compiled by Vanda Research on Tuesday, highlights the bitcoin bull's growing popularity among individual investors after its stock notched an eye-popping return of nearly 550%, outpacing Wall Street favorite Nvidia's roughly 160% surge so far in 2024. Promoted as a financial tool free of government intermediaries, bitcoin often earns its corporate champions a devoted following.
