Vanguard Group's Value Index Fund Invests in MicroStrategy

Vanguard Group's Value Index Fund has acquired 1.23 million shares of MicroStrategy, valued at $202.5 million. According to Odaily, this marks the fund's first investment in the company, which holds 687,410 BTC. Previously, Vanguard Group's Mid-Cap Index Fund purchased 2.91 million shares of MicroStrategy, worth $505 million, when the company met the mid-cap benchmark. Market opinions are divided on this move; some view it as traditional finance embracing crypto assets, while others see it as routine index tracking by the $12 trillion asset management firm, rather than active investment.
