Texas Teacher Retirement Fund Gains Bitcoin Exposure via Strategy (MSTR) Stock
Texas Teachers Retirement Fund invested in MSTR stock to gain Bitcoin exposure as crypto adoption rises amid the crypto-friendly Trump Administration. Texas Teachers Retirement Fund revealed $25 million worth of Bitcoin from Strategy shareholding, according to The Bitcoin Historian’s X post on September 15.
Pension funds investing in Bitcoin treasury companies is a major milestone. The move comes amid the latest developments, including Governor Greg Abbott signing Texas’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into law in May and the US strategic Bitcoin reserve announcement by President Donald Trump.
Moreover, the U.S. Department of Labor withdrew its 2022 guidance that prevented pension funds from adding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to 401(k) retirement plans in May. Bitcoin and crypto exposure from 401(k) plans might further legitimize Bitcoin as an asset class.
Recently, Michael Saylor revealed that Strategy topped the performance chart with 100.5% returns. He claimed the MSTR stock is way ahead of Tesla’s 26% and far above other Magnificent 7 stocks like Nvidia, Meta, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. Saylor credited Bitcoin for Strategy’s outperformance over ‘Mag 7’ stocks.
