Inside Michael Saylor's Bitcoin Strategy (4:18)Meanwhile, the index provider MSCI announced the removal of the world's leading corporate Bitcoin treasury from its USA and World indexes on Nov. 11 as it expanded its non-operating company exclusions.
The benchmark tracks large and midsize U.S. companies. Beginning Dec. 1, Strategy will no longer be part of MSCI's indexes.
During consultation, Strategy argued MSCI’s operating and non-operating terminology lacked a basis in recognized accounting frameworks and was a pretext for targeting digital asset treasury companies.
The company said it reports its Bitcoin business as an operating segment under U.S. GAAP, consistent with discussions with SEC Staff, and urged MSCI to withdraw the proposal. But the index provider decided to stick to its decision.
In November 2025, JPMorgan estimated Strategy could face $2.8 billion in passive investment outflows if excluded from MSCI indexes, with total outflows rising to as much as $8.8 billion if other index providers followed.
Strategy currently holds 850,364 Bitcoin on its balance sheet, representing about 4.05% of the leading cryptocurrency's maximum supply of 21 million coins.
The MSTR stock was trading at $116.09 at the time of writing, down 5% on the day. The stock has lost nearly 50% of its value over the past year.
