MSCI approves rules that could eject Strategy, Metaplanet from equity indexes

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

MSCI, one of the world’s biggest stock index providers, finalized rules proposed in August that could remove shares of leading bitcoin BTC$82,071.33-holding companies Strategy MSTR and Metaplanet (3350) from its global equity indexes.

Under the rules announced Thursday, companies that mostly hold investments rather than running a real business will be deemed ineligible for MSCI’s Global Investable Market Indexes.

The final list of affected firms is due Nov.

11 and the change takes effect at the close of Nov.

The decision is important because it affects demand for the companies’ shares.

Many investors gain exposure to stock markets by placing their money in funds that track an index.

When a company is added to the index, those funds must buy its stock.

When it is removed, they must sell, whatever the fund managers think of the company.

“The MSCI episode highlights a growing tension between traditional index construction and the rise of companies that treat Bitcoin as a core treasury asset rather than a secondary holding,” decentralized infrastructure network ZEROBASE said on X.
