Strategy remains the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder with approximately 840,447 BTC, currently valued at around $53 billion. The company has sold several thousand $BTC in recent weeks to fund preferred dividends, build its USD reserve (now ~$4.65 billion), and repurchase its own securities. These sales have reduced holdings slightly from earlier peaks but still leave Strategy with roughly 4% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist. The bigger near-term question is index eligibility. MSCI has opened a new consultation on rules that would exclude “non-operating companies” from its major equity indexes. The proposed test looks at whether operating assets make up more than 50% of total assets and applies five financial ratios. Companies that fail four of the five ratios would be removed. Under current data, Strategy would fail the screen. Feedback is open until September 30, with any changes potentially taking effect in the November 2026 index review. An earlier crypto-specific exclusion proposal was shelved earlier this year. What an exclusion would actually do: > Passive funds tracking MSCI indexes would be forced to sell MSTR shares.
> JPMorgan previously estimated potential outflows of around $2.8 billion from MSCI alone (and higher if other providers follow).
> This would pressure the stock price, not directly force Strategy to sell Bitcoin.

There is no automatic mechanism that requires Strategy to liquidate its BTC holdings solely because of index exclusion. Any secondary selling pressure on Bitcoin would depend on how the company and the market react to a lower share price and tighter capital-markets access. The risk is real for the equity, but the Bitcoin treasury itself is not automatically on the chopping block. Do you see index exclusion as a material catalyst for broader $BTC selling pressure, or mainly a stock-specific event? #BTC Price Analysis# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?# $XRP
