📊 Deep Dive | Index doors close, and the crypto-hoarding model faces a major test
MSCI announced that it will remove MicroStrategy ($MSTR ) from its indexes. Metaplanet may follow suit, while SharpLink has been placed on a watchlist. The final list will be announced on November 11. Polymarket puts the odds of removal at 92%. The new rules target “non-operating companies”—treasury models built purely around hoarding crypto are being explicitly downgraded by a major index provider for the first time.
There are also warning bells ringing in AI credit: CoreWeave’s five-year CDS has surged to a record 1,194.5 basis points, its 2031 bonds have fallen to 82.75 cents, and Deutsche Bank estimates a $35 billion funding gap. Jensen Huang has made clear that Nvidia will not bail it out.
Both developments point to the same thesis: assets supported by balance-sheet narratives are being repriced by credit markets. $BTC treasury companies and AI computing debt are, at their core, highly leveraged, long-duration narratives. While the 71.8% probability that the Fed won’t raise rates in October offers some cushion, credit spreads are the leading indicator. Keep a close eye on two things: the MSCI list on November 11, and CRWV bond prices.
