Bitcoin Magazine MSCI To Move Forward With Proposal That Could Exclude Strategy From Index

Morgan Stanley Capital International is moving ahead with a proposal that could remove bitcoin juggernaut Strategy from its global equity benchmarks. 

The index maker said Thursday that it “will implement the proposal to define and classify non-operating companies as ineligible for inclusion in the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes.” 

Bitcoin treasury Strategy previously blasted the idea, calling it “misguided” and “flawed.” 

“MSCI will implement the proposal to define and classify non-operating companies as ineligible for inclusion in the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes, as set out in the consultation announced on August 3, 2026, with minor modifications,” the statement read. 

“The changes will be implemented as part of the November 2026 Index Review, which will take effect as of the close of November 30, 2026.”

MSCI’s decision won’t immediately remove Strategy from its Global Investable Market Indexes but future tests could end up excluding the company from the index. 

If Strategy does get removed from the index, it would mean that fewer institutional investors can or will hold the stock.
