The phrase "buy into" originally appeared in the context of stock brokerage in the 1930s and 1940s. It referred to the act of investors purchasing shares in a particular company or investment. The expression "buy into" can be traced back to the idea that by investing or "buying into" a company, the investor is also buying into or becoming a part of that company's future successes and potential returns. Over time, the usage of "buy into" expanded to encompass a wider variety of situations where an individual must first make an investment or outlay in order to become engaged or involved in something. As such, today "buy into" is a widely used expression that can be applied to a range of enterprises, services, and ideas, from sports teams and political ideologies to new technologies and business strategies.
