🚨 Strategy has been kicked out of the MSCI index—the biggest BTC buyer is facing a test?
📌 On 11/11, MSCI announced its November index review: Strategy (MSTR) will be removed from global indexes including MSCI USA, effective at the close on 11/30. Metaplanet and Upexi are also being removed.
📌 Reason: A new “non-operating company” rule classifies it more as an investment fund than a software company.
📌 Strategy disclosed that MSCI-linked funds hold about 13 million shares, or 3.1% of its stock. MSTR fell about 4% premarket (Investing.com).
🧠 My take:
1️⃣ Passive funds will have to sell before 11/30. The pressure is on the stock, not direct BTC sales—Strategy is not being forced to sell its coins.
2️⃣ The real risk is financing: pressure on MSTR’s share price could affect its “money-printing machine” for issuing shares to buy BTC.
3️⃣ BTC is currently around $73,000, ETFs have seen outflows for five consecutive days, and the fear index is at 28. Sentiment was already fragile.
Do you think this is the bad news finally out, or is the pressure only just beginning ahead of month-end? Let’s discuss in the comments 👇
