Canadian $398 Billion Banking Giant Takes Major Stake in MSTR: $273 Million Bet on Bitcoin Concept Stock

Abstract generation in progress

On December 5, a major piece of news broke. National Bank of Canada—a traditional financial giant managing $398 billion in assets—quietly built a position of 1.47 million shares in MicroStrategy (stock ticker MSTR). At market value, this investment is worth about $273 million.

Keep in mind, MicroStrategy is the publicly listed company that has accumulated an extreme amount of Bitcoin. When traditional banks start going heavy on this kind of stock, it’s, in a way, an indirect bet on BTC. Is this move yet another signal of traditional finance moving closer to crypto assets? The market may start to reassess the direction of institutional capital flows.

Even the giants of traditional finance are starting to tiptoe over to BTC—this is an incredible signal. Institutional funds are quietly loading up; is the next launch window here? Giants with $398 billion in assets are paving the way—should have known this was just the prologue. The MSTR folks really treat Bitcoin as family property, and now the banks believe in it too... interesting. The boosters are being assembled, don’t sleep on this, astronauts.

Traditional finance really can't hold back anymore. Even the Bank of Canada is secretly accumulating MSTR. Isn't this the biggest bullish signal? Can BTC be far behind?
