Bitcoin Magazine reports that Strategy has criticized MSCI's proposal to exclude digital asset treasuries from its global equity indexes.
According to reporting by Bitcoin Magazine, bitcoin treasury firm Strategy has criticized a proposal by Morgan Stanley Capital International to exclude it and similar companies from its Global Investable Market Indexes. MSCI is consulting on a plan to define "non-operating companies" and make them ineligible for the indexes.
In a letter to MSCI, Strategy founder Michael Saylor and CEO Phong Le called the proposal misguided, flawed, and discriminatory against digital asset businesses. Strategy argued that MSCI is relying on unprecedented classifications to target digital asset treasuries a second time, following a withdrawn 2025 proposal regarding digital asset holdings.
Strategy stated it operates as an active business employing 1,500 people globally and reports its bitcoin business as an operating segment. The firm asserted that the exclusion would not meaningfully impact its business but would harm MSCI's reputation.
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, holding 845,050 bitcoins valued at $65.8 billion.
