The 94-year-old mutual fund firm Capital Group has turned an investment of $500 million into $6.2 billion in crypto-centric equities, an unusual sign of the intersection of traditional finance with the new age of digital assets. This significant appreciation happens after shares of Strategy Inc., formerly MicroStrateg, continue to strengthen amid their sizable Bitcoin treasury and other secondary bets in international companies working in concert with its crypto journey.
The Capital Group
Capital Group purchased the initial acquisition of a significant equity stake in Strategy Inc., which was led by portfolio manager Mark Casey, in 2021, at a time when most of the institutional investors were still quite apprehensive about cryptocurrencies.
As per the latest disclosures, Strategy Inc. currently has over 628,000 Bitcoins on its balance sheet, which is approximately 3% of the global supply of Bitcoin, and has put the company at the forefront of corporate treasury (digital asset) corporatism. And despite recent volatility and a 16% correction in share price, institutional investors have viewed the company’s long-term approach as a litmus test for broader mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency assets.
In addition to its flagship position in Strategy Inc., Capital Group has added diverse forms of exposure by way of a position in Metaplanet, a Japanese company that recently shifted to a Bitcoin treasury strategy, and MARA Holdings, a Bitcoin miner. The share price of Metaplanet has risen 70% since this event in 2025 and has helped add to the fund’s impressive returns.
There are industry analysts who suggest this event is a paradigm shift in traditional market outlooks toward crypto assets. “Capital Group’s experience indicates how legacy funds can derive value by getting ahead of institutional adoption curves,” said one market observer.
Capital Group’s crypto investment is touted as one of the most visible examples of traditional finance houses benefiting from digital asset markets. Observers suggest these developments may serve as another impetus for conservative funds to participate in the space for the long term, and as part of the shifting culture around institutional cryptocurrency exposure.
