As per Coinrise, global index provider MSCI is reviewing whether to remove digital asset treasury firms from its benchmarks in early 2025. The consultation, open until Dec. 31, seeks investor feedback on whether firms holding over 50% of assets in crypto should remain eligible. Early responses raised concerns that such firms act more like investment vehicles, not traditional equity index participants. A preliminary list includes 38 companies, such as Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Riot Platforms. Analysts estimate Strategy could lose $2.8 billion in market value if excluded. MSCI’s decision, expected by Jan. 15, could trigger index-tracking funds to sell affected stocks, creating pressure on the firms. The move reflects a shift toward stricter standards for equity benchmarks.
