MSCI confirmed on November 11, 2026 that it will remove Strategy, the largest corporate bitcoin holder, from its equity indexes as of the close of November 30, 2026.
The November 2026 Index Review deletes Strategy from the MSCI USA Index, which also takes it out of the broader MSCI World and ACWI benchmarks. Funds that track those indexes will need to sell the shares by the November 30 close. A removal does not delist the stock, and the rules do not require Strategy to sell its $BTC . Japan's Metaplanet, another bitcoin treasury firm, was also deleted from a small-cap index.
MSCI applied a "non-operating company" screen adopted on October 15, 2026, which tests whether operating assets equal at least 50% of total assets and then applies extra financial ratios. The rule does not mention bitcoin. Strategy has said MSCI-linked funds hold about 3.1% of its basic shares outstanding and that a deletion would have no meaningful impact on its business.
