🔍 MSCI under the microscope: final list published today
MSCI has decided to exclude companies that hold 50% or more of their assets in crypto from its indexes. Strategy (the largest corporate holder of $BTC) and Metaplanet are among those affected. The final list of companies to be removed will be published on November 11.
The figures cited by analysts:
💸 JPMorgan estimates around $2.8 billion in forced selling and outflows from MSCI indexes
🌊 If FTSE Russell and S&P Dow Jones follow MSCI, outflows could rise to $8–11 billion
👀 Also on the risk list: Sharplink, DeFi Dev Corp, Upexi, Capital B, and others.
What this means: index funds are required to sell the shares, even if they don't want to. This puts pressure on the companies' shares, while the impact on $BTC itself is indirect and depends on market sentiment.

Not financial advice. The figures are analysts' estimates; the final outcome depends on MSCI's list.
