5 Ways to Buy Crypto Stocks

Jakarta, Pintu News – Entering 2026, digital investment instruments have become increasingly mature alongside regulatory developments. Platforms such as Pintu, which is registered and supervised by OJK, now offer over 300 crypto assets, tokenized gold, and tokenized stocks within a single integrated application.

It is important to understand that crypto and stocks are fundamentally different: crypto assets are decentralized digital assets that function as commodities or stores of value, while stocks represent ownership in a company.

Crypto stocks refer to shares of publicly listed companies operating within the blockchain industry—such as mining firms or crypto exchanges—that are traded on traditional stock exchanges. These instruments provide exposure to the growth of the crypto industry without requiring investors to directly own or store digital coins.

Here are five ways to buy crypto stocks!

1. Investing through Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)

Crypto ETFs have become the most popular method for investors looking to gain exposure to the price of Bitcoin or Ethereum without having to own the digital assets directly.

Through the stock exchange, investors can buy units of funds managed by large investment managers such as BlackRock or Fidelity. In 2026, the availability of spot ETFs has expanded not only to Bitcoin, but also to include other assets such as Solana, providing automatic diversification in a single basket of stock instruments.

The main advantages of this method are the ease of access through a regular securities account and the presence of strict regulatory protection. Investors do not have to worry about managing private keys or the security of digital wallets, as the underlying assets are held institutionally by professional custodians. The unit price of this ETF moves in sync with the price of the crypto asset on the spot market, making it an efficient option for those familiar with the mechanics of stock exchange trading.

2. Buying Crypto Mining Company Shares

Another way to gain exposure to “crypto stocks” is by purchasing shares of mining companies listed on global exchanges such as NASDAQ or NYSE, for example Marathon Digital (MARA) or Riot Platforms (RIOT). These companies operate large-scale mining infrastructure to produce Bitcoin, meaning their stock performance is heavily influenced by BTC prices and operational efficiency, particularly energy costs.

Unlike directly buying crypto assets, investing in mining stocks also requires fundamental analysis, including financial statements, cash flow, and debt structure. By 2026, many mining companies have begun adopting renewable energy sources to strengthen their ESG appeal.

For investors seeking to combine crypto exposure with a more diversified approach, platforms such as Pintu provide access to a wide range of crypto assets and related instruments within a single integrated ecosystem, allowing investment strategies to be tailored to individual risk profiles.

3. Investment in CEX Shares

Owning shares in a centralized crypto exchange that is already listed on a stock exchange allows investors to take advantage of the overall trading volume of the crypto market.

Exchange companies generate their main revenue from transaction fees, custodial services, and subscription products. When crypto market activity increases, an exchange’s revenue tends to rise, which usually has a positive impact on its share price.

This strategy is considered to be more neutral to the price fluctuations of one particular coin, as exchanges benefit from market volatility both when prices are rising and falling. In 2026, public crypto exchanges have adopted highly transparent auditing standards, similar to traditional banking. This provides more security for stock investors who want to be exposed to the growth of the global digital financial infrastructure.

4. Picking “Proxy” Stocks with Massive Crypto Holdings

There is a category of publicly traded companies that have Bitcoin as their primary reserve asset, with MicroStrategy (MSTR) being the most prominent example. Buying shares of such companies is often considered a “proxy” or representation of ownership of the crypto asset itself.

The movement of the company’s share price usually has a very high correlation with the movement of the Bitcoin price because the company’s value is highly dependent on the value of its digital assets.

This approach appeals to investors who want to take advantage of corporate leverage policies, where companies often issue bonds to buy more crypto assets.

However, the risks are also more complex as they include corporate management risk and potential liquidation if the market price drops dramatically. By 2026, more and more global tech companies will follow suit, integrating cryptocurrencies into their cash management strategies.

5. Using OJK Registered Platforms

To facilitate the buying process, using an investment platform that is officially registered with OJK is the right step.
