Michael Saylor’s Strategy May Enter the S&P 500 as Early as Friday
Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) is one of the few high-performing equities shortlisted for inclusion in what many consider to be the top stock index.
Saylor’s Bitcoin Bet Could Land Strategy in the S&P 500 by Friday
The S&P 500, which tracks the performance of America’s top 500 companies, will be announcing new additions to its index on Friday, and Michael Saylor’s bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) is one of the leading favorites among a handful of companies eligible to be included in the prestigious cohort.
Every three months or so, a quarterly rebalancing of the S&P 500 takes place, and new firms are announced then added while others are removed; usually on a Friday. In July, Jack Dorsey’s Bitcoin technology company Block (NYSE: XYZ) was added to the index, and now other firms such as Strategy, Robinhood, and Applovin, are all vying for inclusion.
(MSTR was one of the best-performing stocks of 2024 and the company meets all of the eligibility requirements for inclusion in the S&P 500 / strategy.com)
MSTR was one of the best-performing stocks in 2024. The company currently holds 636,505 BTC worth nearly $71 billion at the time of writing. The stock has a market capitalization of just under $98 billion. To be included in the S&P 500, a firm must meet the following criteria:
- The company must be domiciled in the U.S.
- Market capitalization must equal or exceed $22.7 billion
- Monthly trading volume must be equal to or greater than 250,000 shares for each of the six months leading up to the inclusion date
- Liquidity ratio must exceed 75%
- Shares must be listed on a stock exchange such as the NYSE or Nasdaq
- Shares must in an eligible form, such as common stock
Strategy meets all of these requirements, and some bitcoiners say MSTR’s inclusion on Friday is not only likely, but also paradigm-shifting. “This isn’t just another index shuffle,” said Adam Livingston, author of The Bitcoin Wizard. “It is the moment where every 401K, robo-advisor, and pension fund accidentally ends up hodling bitcoin.”

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For
The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush. Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs. Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
