The expansion involved the purchase of roughly 3.78 million additional shares.
The total position was valued at approximately $728 million at the end of December 2025. Earlier estimates valued the stake near $641 million, reflecting market price changes.
Amundi manages more than €2.3 trillion in assets. Its portfolios traditionally focus on equities, fixed income products, and exchange-traded funds.
The larger allocation to MSTR shows increased exposure to a Bitcoin-linked corporate strategy.
Strategy Inc. and Its Bitcoin Holdings
Strategy Inc., led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, has positioned itself as a major corporate holder of Bitcoin.
By early 2026, the company held more than 717,000 Bitcoin. Those holdings were valued at about $49 billion at prevailing market prices.
The company has funded its Bitcoin purchases through a mix of equity offerings and debt issuance.
As a result, MSTR shares often move in correlation with Bitcoin prices. Investors frequently use the stock as a proxy for direct Bitcoin exposure.
Strategy’s approach has drawn attention from institutional investors seeking regulated market access to digital assets.
MSTR trades on U.S. public markets, and it files regular financial disclosures. This structure provides transparency that some investors require.

Institutional Interest in Bitcoin-Linked Assets
Amundi’s larger position comes during a period of wider institutional activity in digital assets.
Asset managers have expanded crypto-related offerings, including exchange-traded funds tied to Bitcoin. Regulatory clarity in several jurisdictions has also progressed.
The increased stake indicates that large asset managers continue to allocate capital to Bitcoin-related strategies.
While MSTR shares have traded below their late-2024 highs, institutions appear willing to maintain or grow exposure.
