Strategy blasts MSCI plan that could exclude it from global indexes

Strategy’s letter argues it reports its Bitcoin activity as an operating segment and that MSCl’s “non-operating company” methodology is arbitrary and unexplained.

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has opposed an MSCI proposal that could remove the company from MSCI’s Global Investable Market Indexes. Bitcoin Magazine reports the company said MSCI is unfairly targeting digital asset treasuries through the new rules.

In a letter to MSCI, Strategy’s founder Michael Saylor and CEO Phong Le said the plan is misguided and conflicts with established securities laws and accounting principles. The company also argued MSCI is discriminating against digital asset businesses.

The proposal follows MSCI’s earlier consultation on defining “non-operating companies” that would be ineligible for its global indexes, which Strategy says would exclude firms like itself from market gauges seen by institutional investors.

Bitcoin Magazine reports Strategy pointed to a prior MSCI effort in 2025 to exclude companies with digital asset holdings of 50% or more of total assets, which MSCI later withdrew. Strategy said that, while the current proposal would not materially impact its business, it would harm MSCI’s reputation as a neutral index provider.
