The MicroStrategy Bitcoin holding, the 0.5% weighting and the ₹5 exposure figure shown in this article are as at its publication date, 22 July 2025<\/strong>, and are for illustration only. The 0.5% weighting is an assumption stated by this article, not the ETF’s disclosed holding; corporate Bitcoin holdings and index weights change continuously. Please check the ETF’s current disclosed portfolio, and whether it is open for fresh subscription or SIP, before investing.<\/p>\n\n\n The MON100 ETF<\/strong> is designed to track a diversified set of technology companies<\/strong>, with a significant portion of the ETF’s portfolio allocated to MicroStrategy<\/strong>. This company, led by Michael Saylor<\/strong>, has made waves in the financial world for its significant Bitcoin holdings. MicroStrategy is one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin<\/strong>, with over 600,000 BTC<\/strong> in its reserves.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, here’s where it gets interesting for investors: By purchasing shares of the MON100 ETF<\/strong>, you’re indirectly gaining exposure to Bitcoin<\/strong> via MicroStrategy’s investments. Essentially, a portion of your ETF investment is tied to MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin assets<\/strong>. For a general explainer on the same fund — what it tracks, its holdings and its expense ratio — see our guide to the MON100 ETF<\/a>. For context on how this asset class has expanded locally, see our overview of the growth of ETFs in India<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s break it down:<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n How an ETF is priced against its underlying basket is worth understanding separately — our explainer on ETF pricing, NAV, iNAV and fair value<\/a> covers it.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n Investing in Bitcoin directly can be tricky for some investors due to the high volatility <\/strong>and the need for a secure digital wallet<\/strong>. The MON100 ETF<\/strong> allows investors to dip their toes into Bitcoin indirectly<\/strong> while still being part of a diversified tech portfolio. If you are weighing the two routes against each other, our comparison of crypto vs stocks<\/a> is a useful companion read.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n By investing in the MON100 ETF<\/strong>, investors not only gain Bitcoin exposure but also diversify their portfolios with exposure to other technology stocks<\/strong>. This approach balances potential Bitcoin gains with the stability of the broader tech sector.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n With the price of Bitcoin<\/strong> hovering at significant levels, it might not be accessible for everyone to buy large amounts of the cryptocurrency. However, with MON100 ETF<\/strong>, a relatively small investment like ₹1000<\/strong> can still provide you with fractional Bitcoin exposure<\/strong>, allows fractional exposure through the ETF structure, but actual exposure is very limited and should not be confused with direct Bitcoin ownership. Ongoing costs matter too over long holding periods — see how expense ratios<\/a> affect ETF returns.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s take an example to understand the exposure better:<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n This means, for every ₹1000 invested in the MON100 ETF<\/strong>, you are getting indirect exposure to approximately ₹5 worth of Bitcoin<\/strong> via MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n While this may not seem like a huge amount, it’s a great starting point for anyone looking to add Bitcoin exposure to their portfolio without the complexity of buying the cryptocurrency directly.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n For investors seeking to tap into the potential of Bitcoin without the complexities and risks of direct investment, the MON100 ETF<\/strong> offers a unique solution. By investing in this tech-focused ETF, you not only gain exposure to leading tech companies but also participate in the growth of Bitcoin<\/strong> via MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin reserves<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cryptocurrency exposure<\/strong> provides an indirect route to crypto exposure within a diversified ETF, but it still carries volatility and should be evaluated against your risk profile. It provides you with the benefits of diversification and access to the high-growth potential of Bitcoin, all within a regulated and accessible financial product.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n While MON100 ETF<\/strong> provides an indirect route<\/strong> to Bitcoin exposure, it’s important to note that Bitcoin remains a highly volatile asset.<\/strong> The value of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings<\/strong> can fluctuate significantly, which can impact the MON100 ETF’s <\/strong>performance. Additionally, as with any investment, past performance is not indicative of future results<\/strong>. Please consider your risk tolerance and investment goals before participating in Bitcoin-related products. Always seek advice from a financial advisor to understand the full implications of such investments.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n ETF performance depends not only on MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings but also its core business performance<\/strong> and the overall tech sector<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n DID YOU FIND THIS INTERESTING?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We’d love to hear from you –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n DISCLAIMER:<\/strong> Investments in securities market are subject to market risks, read all the related documents carefully before investing.
