According to the update on X, Livingston explains that once Strategy qualifies for inclusion in the S&P 500, the index’s rules will take effect. This is not about taste or ideology. Rather, it’s about floats, weights, and formulas.
When the index updates, trillions of dollars in benchmark trackers will follow. This means that BTC exposure will be piped directly into every 401(k), pension fund, and institutional portfolio that mirrors the S&P 500.
For Bitcoiners, it’s a clean, shareable explanation for skeptics who dismiss adoption as narrative hype. Once the index rules are triggered, the passive system cannot ignore BTC. By default, BTC exposure will be distributed across global portfolios.
