MSCI Decision Gives Crypto Treasury Stocks a Reprieve
-

Shares in Strategy jumped in after-hours trading after MSCI confirmed it would not exclude digital asset treasury companies from its major indexes—for now. The decision preserves Strategy’s eligibility for passive index funds, helping maintain institutional demand and liquidity for stocks tied heavily to digital assets.
MSCI said it will conduct broader consultations to better distinguish operating companies from investment-style entities, signaling that future changes are still possible. For the moment, however, the ruling avoids what could have been billions of dollars in forced selling had firms like Strategy been removed from benchmark indexes.
