MSCI adopts index exclusion rules that could oust Strategy

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Index provider MSCI has approved rules that could remove Strategy, Metaplanet and Upexi from its global indexes by excluding companies classified as non-operating businesses.

The methodology, announced on Thursday, follows a proposal published in August. MSCI also placed Sharplink, Ton Strategy Company, Solana Company and DeFi Development Corp. on a watchlist for possible removal.

The changes could prompt funds tracking MSCI indexes to sell affected shares, reducing passive investment demand and potentially weighing on stock prices.
