California Leads State Investment in Strategy Stock with $150M Retirement Fund Holdings

State Pension Funds Hold $330M in Strategy Stock Across Twelve North American States

  • State retirement funds across twelve North American states hold approximately $330 million in Strategy stock as of late 2024.
  • California leads with the largest investment, holding 285,785 shares valued at approximately $83 million.
  • Florida, Wisconsin, and North Carolina follow as major state-level investors in Strategy.
  • The investments are documented through Form 13F filings with the SEC.
  • These holdings represent significant public sector exposure to a Bitcoin-focused company.

State pension funds are increasingly gaining exposure to Bitcoin through proxy investments, with twelve North American states now holding a combined $330 million in Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) stock through their retirement and treasury funds.

According to analysis by Bitcoin analyst Julian Fahrer, who shared the findings on social media, California’s state retirement system leads the pack with holdings exceeding $150 million in Strategy stock. The California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) accounts for the majority of this exposure, with 285,785 shares worth approximately $83 million as documented in their recent SEC Form 13F filing.

This institutional investment trend marks a significant shift in how public pension funds are gaining indirect exposure to cryptocurrency markets. Strategy, under the leadership of Michael Saylor, has become known for its substantial Bitcoin holdings, effectively functioning as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure in traditional investment portfolios.

The concentration of investments across states like Florida, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, alongside California, suggests growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin-adjacent investments within conservative public fund management strategies, despite the cryptocurrency market’s notorious volatility.

This development represents a notable evolution in institutional cryptocurrency adoption, as state pension funds traditionally maintain conservative investment approaches to protect retiree benefits. The indirect exposure through Strategy stock offers these institutions a regulated avenue to participate in the cryptocurrency market’s potential upside while maintaining compliance with their investment mandates.
