Strategy's MSCI Exclusion Could Trigger Billions in MSTR Selling
JPMorgan analysts estimate MSCI removal could spur about $2.8 billion in passive-fund selling as Strategy faces new rules targeting non-operating companies.
- MSCI plans to announce its final list of index additions and deletions shortly after 11 p.m. Central European Time on Wednesday, November 11, with Strategy facing potential removal under new "non-operating companies" rules.
- New rules adopted by MSCI on October 15 exclude companies classified as non-operating businesses, placing Strategy—the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder—under scrutiny for its investment-heavy balance sheet.
- Strategy disclosed that index-tracking funds hold approximately 13 million shares, worth around $1.57 billion at Tuesday's closing price, below earlier analyst estimates of $2.8 billion in potential forced selling.
- Removal would trigger selling by passive index funds, though Strategy maintains this does not require liquidation of its 850,364 BTC, as index selling merely transfers shares between investors.
- Market commentator Adrian Morris believes investors may have already accounted for the potential exclusion, arguing that an official announcement would not necessarily threaten Strategy's survival or mandate immediate liquidation.
