Odaily Planet Daily reports: MSCI has announced the formal adoption of the non-operating company exclusion rule, to be implemented in the November 2026 index review and effective after the close of trading on November 30. The new rule will first assess whether a company possesses substantial operating assets; companies failing the initial screening will undergo five financial ratio tests, and if at least four of these meet the exclusion criteria, the company will be ineligible for index inclusion. Bitcoin treasury companies Strategy and Metaplanet face potential removal, with the final list to be announced on November 11. JPMorgan previously estimated that if Strategy is removed from the MSCI index, it could face approximately $2.8 billion in selling pressure.
