Florida’s pension fund adds MicroStrategy shares, extending a broader shift by U.S. public funds toward Bitcoin-linked equity as BTC and MSTR test key 2025 lows.
Florida’s pension fund expanded its exposure to Bitcoin through an investment in MicroStrategy stock, according to a report from The Coin Republic, marking the latest institutional entry into the cryptocurrency-linked equity.
More than a dozen state public retirement and treasury funds in the United States have acquired MicroStrategy shares, according to available data. While the investment amounts remain relatively small compared to the total assets under management at these retirement funds, the transactions represent a shift toward non-traditional assets including Bitcoin exposure.
Institutional ownership data published in December showed institutions increased their holdings in MicroStrategy stock during the month, reaching the highest level of institutional ownership recorded in 2025, according to the report. The data suggests institutional buyers entered positions when the share price declined.
MicroStrategy stock recently retested its lowest level of the year, a price point previously reached in early December. Technical indicators including the stock’s Relative Strength Index have formed a bullish divergence, while the Money Flow Index registered increased activity in the first half of December, according to market analysis.
The stock’s performance remains closely correlated with Bitcoin’s price movements, as MicroStrategy holds significant Bitcoin reserves on its balance sheet. Bitcoin has struggled to establish upward momentum in recent trading sessions.
Analysts have issued varied forecasts for Bitcoin and related equities in 2026, with some predicting recovery while others have revised projections downward. Liquidity conditions and investment sentiment toward risk assets will likely influence performance, according to market observers.
MicroStrategy shares have attracted institutional capital as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure, with continued institutional flows potentially supporting the stock price if cryptocurrency markets strengthen, analysts noted.
