SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPACEX) is set to join the Nasdaq-100, with JPMorgan estimating about US$4.3 billion in passive fund buying.
Index-tracking ETFs and mutual funds are expected to purchase shares automatically during the benchmark's rebalancing.
Investors are also monitoring SpaceX's reported Bitcoin holdings and recent institutional buying following its public listing.

SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPACEX) will join the Nasdaq-100 before the market opens on July 7, with JPMorgan estimating that passive index funds will buy about US$4.3 billion worth of shares as they rebalance their portfolios.

The inclusion follows SpaceX's June 12 public listing under updated Nasdaq eligibility rules that allow some of the largest newly listed companies to enter the index after only 15 trading days, with the stock expected to carry a weighting of less than 1%.

Most of the buying is expected to occur around the July 6 market close and July 7 opening as index-tracking funds adjust their holdings, according to JPMorgan.

The largest Nasdaq-100 tracking funds, including the Invesco QQQ Trust, are required to purchase SpaceX shares to match the revised benchmark regardless of valuation, while the company has also attracted attention for its reported holding of 18,712 Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) and its recent US$25 billion bond offering.

Following the announcement there was no immediate share price reaction because the expected purchases are linked to scheduled index rebalancing rather than discretionary investor demand.

Institutional interest has remained strong since the company's listing, with ARK Invest adding to its SpaceX position while also increasing investments in crypto-related companies including Coinbase, Circle and Robinhood.

SpaceX's reported Bitcoin treasury has also drawn attention from crypto investors, with some market observers saying its Nasdaq-100 inclusion could increase institutional exposure to companies that hold Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) as a treasury asset through passive index fund ownership.

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $63,308.19.
