Strategy challenges MSCI plan to remove “nonoperating companies” from global investable market indexes
AI Market Summary
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) formally opposed MSCI's consultation proposal to exclude "nonoperating companies" from global investable indexes, arguing it could discriminate against digital-asset treasury models. If adopted, index exclusion risk could reduce passive ownership and liquidity for affected equities, indirectly pressuring the institutional wrapper around corporate bitcoin holdings. The dispute underscores growing friction between index methodologies and crypto-adjacent corporate structures.

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has sent a letter to MSCI opposing a proposal to exclude “nonoperating companies” from its global investable market indexes. The company called the proposal misleading and flawed, saying it discriminates against digital asset firms and raises questions about MSCI’s impartiality. MSCI said earlier this month it is consulting on the definition and plans to exclude such companies, according to ChainCatcher. Strategy said it employs about 1,500 people and is the world’s largest corporate bitcoin holder with 845,050 bitcoins.
