MSCI finalizes index rules that could exclude Strategy and other crypto treasury firms, with affected companies to be named November 11

MSCI's methodology, effective with the November index review, replaces interim restrictions on companies whose digital asset holdings are at least 50% of total assets with screens for operating assets and five financial ratios. Buffers apply to eligibility thresholds and inclusion timing. Non-constituents failing the screen in either of their two most recent annual filing periods are ineligible for addition; current constituents failing in both periods are removed. A May 2026 simulation flagged Strategy, Metaplanet and Yellow Cake; SharpLink could also be affected. Strategy's Michael Saylor and CEO Phong Le called the proposal "discriminatory" against digital asset treasuries. MSCI publishes the final list Nov. 11.
