MSCI Threatens MicroStrategy’s Place in Major Indexes as JPMorgan Warns of Billions in Bitcoin-Linked Outflows
MSCI is considering removing Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) from major equity indexes due to its heavy Bitcoin holdings, triggering concerns over forced selling. JPMorgan estimates up to $11.6 billion could exit if index funds dump the stock, with $2.8 billion tied to MSCI-linked passive funds alone. The proposal targets companies where digital assets exceed 50% of total assets.
