How it works
Screenshots from the Pump.fun app, October 2026. Prices are just examples.
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.
2.Pick the stock you want
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.
Referral link: we get part of the trading fee. Details. Not available in the UK, Russia and some other countries.
The screenshots show Micron. For Microsoft, search for MSFTx in step 2 and check the badge next to the name.
What you're actually buying

Questions people ask
Can I buy Microsoft stock from New Zealand?
Pump.fun doesn't block New Zealand, so you can buy MSFTx, a token that stands for one Microsoft share. We haven't checked New Zealand'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 New Zealand.
