Amundi lifts Strategy stake 43.7% with $72.3 million share purchase

Amundi raised its stake in Strategy Inc. by 43.7% through a $72.3 million share purchase, deepening the European asset manager's indirect Bitcoin exposure via the equity rather than the asset itself. The move extends a broader pattern of institutional investors using Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, as a regulated proxy for BTC. It matters because demand from large asset managers can support Strategy's equity and, by extension, its capacity to issue stock and buy more Bitcoin. Watch next for further 13F-style disclosures from other institutions and any change in Strategy's Bitcoin accumulation pace.
