Will the stipulation be part of the case?

Yes it most certainly is.
The defence applied for a motion in limine to strike the 'pornographic chat room' receipt evidence as prurient and prejudicial (therefore inadmissable).
The prosecution maintained that the material was evidence of financial misappropriation therefore factual, related and admissable.

The judge ruled only partially in favour of both (Berman's only cencession thus far) by allowing the limine motion pertaining to the prurient elements, but ONLY if the defence stipulated to the misappropriation of shareholder funds to which these related for (unspecified) 'non busniess related personal use' without contest.

This is exactly what they did.
So the prosecution walk into court with an uncontested admission that Berman misappropriated these shareholder funds for 'his personal use.'

Ergo... he stole!
They are 90% of the way there before a ball has even been kicked!

Really, I didn't see the count of misappropriating funds removed from the case. To the ordinary person, the stipulation allowed Bozo Berman some relief from the humiliation of the jury finding out what he did with those funds..

I doubt in the civil case waiting in the wings that will be hidden.

"The parties further agree and stipulate that this stipulation be entered into evidence at defendant Keith Berman's trial in the above captioned matter"

It's uncontested factual evidence! Signed by Berman himself!
