Strategy, a Bitcoin treasury firm listed on the Nasdaq-100, will remain in the index for another year despite concerns over its business model. Critics argue its 'buy and hold' approach aligns more with value investing in crypto than traditional operations. MSCI is set to review the inclusion of such firms in early 2026, as their risk-to-reward ratio remains a key debate among investors.

Citing Blockbeats, Reuters reported on Dec. 13 that Strategy, a publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company, will retain its position in the Nasdaq-100 index, maintaining its status as a component stock for the benchmark index for another year. The decision comes amid analyst skepticism about the company's business model, with some observers arguing that Strategy's 'buy and hold' Bitcoin approach resembles an investment fund rather than a traditional operating business. Concerns about the sustainability of 'crypto asset treasury' companies have also grown, as their stock prices have proven highly sensitive to Bitcoin price swings. MSCI (MSCI.N), a global index provider, has also expressed concerns about including digital asset treasury companies in its indices and is expected to decide in January 2026 whether to remove Strategy and similar firms.
