US EditionMSCI drops plan to exclude digital asset treasury firms, to ...
- On Tuesday, MSCI decided not to exclude digital asset treasury companies from the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes in the February 2026 Index Review, despite proposing to exclude firms with more than 50% crypto holdings.
- MSCI said distinguishing companies holding digital assets as core operations requires further research and consultation with market participants, and assessing index eligibility may need financial-statement-based inclusion criteria.
- On Tuesday after-hours the market showed Strategy rising 6% and bitcoin adding about 1%, trading at $93,500 after the MSCI decision.
- The move provided a reprieve by letting digital asset companies stay in indexes, averting fund outflows from Strategy and its peers that track MSCI indexes.
- For the time being, MSCI said the current index treatment of DATCOs identified in MSCI's preliminary list whose digital asset holdings represent 50% or more of total assets will remain unchanged.
