MicroStrategy checks all the boxes for inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 Index. There's just one catch: Bloomberg
*Nasdaq could use the small size of MicroStrategy’s operating business as a reason not to add the company to the index.
*The ICB could choose to reclassify MicroStrategy as a financial stock during the next change in March, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart.
*MicroStrategy is now more similar to a commodity or an ETF since it is “essentially a dead company” without its Bitcoin. A large majority of the company is just purely its Bitcoin holdings and the financial machinations around it, so it is a financial company: Michael Lebowitz
*NOTE: Financial companies are ineligible for the Nasdaq 100

BITCOIN STRATEGIC RESERVE FACES FUNDING CHALLENGES
*The BITCOIN Act of 2024 would have the US government create a strategic BTC reserve, funded in part with remittances from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury.
*The problem is the Fed is currently operating at a loss of over $1B/week, due to a negative interest margin. Even after the Fed returns to profitability, it would have to apply those future profits to filling the hole in its balance sheet from accumulated losses—currently worth $212B—before remittances resume, including to any BTC reserve.
*That could take years. In the meantime, BTC purchases—as envisioned by the act—would have to lean heavily on profits from revaluing and remonetizing the Treasury’s gold: Gavekal Research
