    1.Open the Stocks tab

    Tesla, Micron, the QQQ ETF and more, priced in dollars. Heads up: the “Pre-IPO” ones aren't shares in those companies.

    Tap a stock to see its chart, then hit the green button to trade. Check for the badge next to the name so you get the real token, not a lookalike.

    3.Buy with USDC

    No crypto yet? Tap Deposit and top up with Apple Pay (Apple Card works too) or a debit or credit card. The fee shows before you hit Submit — 0.40% with a referral code.

What you're actually buying

MSFTx stands for one Microsoft share. xStocks holds the real MSFT shares and you hold the token. You get the price moves and reinvested dividends. You don't get voting rights or a place on Microsoft's shareholder register.

Microsoft develops software, cloud computing services, devices and business productivity tools.

Other ways to get exposure to Microsoft

  • The National Bank of Ethiopia has warned the public about using crypto. Check its current position before you deposit.
  • Foreign-exchange rules can limit card payments and transfers abroad.

Questions people ask

Can I buy Microsoft stock from Ethiopia?

Pump.fun doesn't block Ethiopia, so you can buy MSFTx, a token that stands for one Microsoft share. We haven't checked Ethiopia's own tax and legal rules yet, so look at the notes on this page and the regulator's website first.

Is MSFTx the same as owning Microsoft shares?

Not quite. MSFTx is issued by xStocks, which holds real MSFT shares to back each token 1:1. You get the price moves and reinvested dividends, but no voting rights and you're not on Microsoft's shareholder register.

How much does it cost to buy MSFTx?

Pump.fun charges 0.40% platform fee per trade with a referral code, plus Solana network fees and any third-party swap fees. If you top up with Apple Pay or a card, the payment provider may add its own fee.

Do I need a US broker to buy Microsoft?

Not for the token. You buy MSFTx with crypto in the Pump.fun app. If you want real MSFT shares in your name, you'd need a broker that accepts people living in Ethiopia.
