ME News reports that on August 14 (UTC+8), Bitcoin News posted on X that MSCI has proposed new rules targeting "non-operating companies." According to MSCI’s simulation conducted in May 2026, Strategy will be removed from its Global Investable Markets Index. Strategy, along with Metaplanet and Yellow Cake, is among the three companies identified for potential removal in MSCI’s ACWI IMI simulation. The proposed methodology will screen companies based on operating assets, expenses, and cash flows; non-operating fair value changes; and the extent to which a company relies on fundraising to accumulate assets. The final criterion directly applies to Strategy’s model of accumulating Bitcoin through equity and debt issuance. The rule has not yet been finalized; public comments will be accepted until September 30, and MSCI expects to make a decision by October 16. The related adjustments may be implemented during the November 2026 index review. (Source: ODAILY)
