MSCI has finalized a broader eligibility screen for “non-operating companies” that could put some digital-asset treasury firms at risk of future exclusion from its global equity indexes. This is **not an immediate removal of Strategy (MSTR)** and does not change Bitcoin’s protocol, supply, or spot-market rules.
### What changed
MSCI’s new framework first evaluates whether a company has enough operating assets, then applies five financial-ratio tests. It replaces an interim screen focused on digital-asset holdings reaching 50% of total assets. For current index constituents, the framework includes buffers: according to The Block, a company must fail the screen across both of its two most recent annual filing periods before removal is triggered.
### Who could be affected
The Block reports that Strategy, Metaplanet, and Yellow Cake were flagged in MSCI’s May 2026 simulation; it says Ethereum-treasury firm SharpLink could also be affected under the new approach. MSCI is expected to publish the final list of potentially affected firms on November 11. These are potential eligibility risks—not confirmed deletions.
### Why it matters — analysis
If index eligibility changes, benchmark-tracking funds could eventually adjust exposure to affected company shares. That would be an equity-index consequence, not a direct instruction to sell Bitcoin and not a forecast for $BTC . The eventual outcome depends on each issuer’s filings, the screening tests and buffers, and the November review. Bloomberg reports the framework takes effect at the close of November 30.

## Conclusion
MSCI’s new screen creates a possible future index-eligibility issue for some digital-asset treasury firms, but no immediate deletion has been announced. The next key checkpoint is the potentially affected-company list expected November 11.

CoinDesk’s live coverage reported that Bitcoin fell below $80,000 for the first time in a month on October 15. The report said BTC reached $79,950 before quickly moving back above $81,000.
A review of 96 completed Binance Spot BTC/USDT 5-minute OHLC candles from 12:00–20:00 UTC shows a lowest wick of $79,800 at 13:55 UTC. The final candle opened at 19:55 UTC and closed at 20:00 UTC at $82,384.73. CoinDesk’s reported $79,950 and Binance’s $79,800 candle low are separate measurements from different sources and should not be conflated.
As separate macro context, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that September final-demand PPI rose 1.3% month over month and 6.3% year over year. This is producer-price data, not Bitcoin price data, and these figures alone do not prove what caused BTC’s move.

Giới thiệu: Phong trào lớn mạnh trên chuỗi khổng lồ
Thị trường tiền điện tử đã rơi vào trạng thái suy đoán dữ dội trong vài giờ qua khi các công cụ theo dõi dữ liệu on-chain xác nhận một lượng tài sản khổng lồ đã được chuyển đi. Chính phủ Hoa Kỳ đã chính thức chuyển 29.800 Bitcoin ($BTC) — tương đương hơn 2 tỷ USD — từ một ví chứa các quỹ bị tịch thu từ Silk Road sang một địa chỉ ví hoàn toàn chưa được xác nhận. Bất cứ khi nào một quốc gia có chủ quyền chuyển một lượng tài sản kỹ thuật số khổng lồ như vậy, nó tự nhiên sẽ kích hoạt một làn sóng tâm lý hoảng sợ và thận trọng cực độ trên toàn bộ các thị trường tài chính toàn cầu.
