MSCI’s proposed rule may exclude firms holding over 50% in crypto from its major indexes, potentially triggering $10–15B in sell-offs. The move, open for feedback until January 2026, could impact value investing in crypto and broader crypto trading strategies. Companies like MicroStrategy, with 660,000 BTC, face index removal risks. Critics say the 50% threshold ignores operational realities, risking market volatility.
