Citing CoinEdition, MSCI is considering removing MicroStrategy (MSTR) and other digital asset companies from major equity indices, including the Nasdaq 100, MSCI USA, and MSCI World, with a decision expected in January 2026. Analysts warn that the exclusion could trigger up to $2.8 billion in outflows, as MSTR's market cap is closely tied to its Bitcoin holdings. The firm is also exploring new listing criteria, including 'self-definition' and 'financing purpose,' amid ongoing consultations set to conclude by December 31, 2025.
