Bitcoin news broke as MSCI consults on excluding firms with over 50% of assets in Bitcoin and digital assets. MicroStrategy’s CFO called the plan misguided, comparing it to penalizing oil firms for holding reserves. The proposal targets DATs to maintain index neutrality, with feedback due by December 31, 2025. MSCI aims to separate operating firms from investment vehicles, but critics warn it could hinder Bitcoin analysis and emerging asset classes. A decision is expected in January 2026, potentially affecting trillions in passive investments.
