Based on Coinpedia, MSCI is considering removing Strategy, a Bitcoin-heavy firm, from its key indexes, which could trigger $8.8 billion in passive fund outflows by January 15, 2026. The index provider proposed a rule that would reclassify companies holding over 50% of their assets in digital assets as 'digital asset funds,' making them ineligible for major benchmarks. Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, is currently listed in MSCI’s USA and World indices, and its exclusion would force index funds to sell its stock immediately. JPMorgan estimates potential outflows could reach $8.8 billion if other index providers follow suit. Strategy’s stock has fallen more than 37% this year, and Bitcoin has also seen a sharp decline from its October highs.
