#StrategySharesFall9%OnFriday

MSTR shares fall 9% amid risk of exclusion from the MSCI index.

MSTR shares fell as low as $137.50 after MSCI proposed rules that could exclude companies with structures similar to those of investment funds, raising concerns among investors about the risk-return relationship. The final list of affected companies will be published on November 11.

Analysts warn that exclusion from MSCI indexes could trigger forced selling by passive funds, creating billions of dollars in selling pressure. This underscores the need for stronger risk management strategies, especially for Bitcoin-linked equity financing models.

MSCI plans to implement new criteria that use operating asset ratios and multiple financial metrics to exclude companies whose asset structures and business characteristics more closely resemble investment funds than traditional operating companies. Due to its extremely high proportion of assets in bitcoin, Strategy has been placed on the watchlist for possible exclusion. The final list of affected companies is expected to be announced on November 11.
