MSCI Vs. Bitcoin
MSCI's proposal to exclude companies like Strategy would undermine the federal government's goal of promoting digital assets while stifling innovation, impeding economic development and harming national security.
Michael Saylor and CEO Phong Le write that the U.S. aims to facilitate investment in digital assets for pension plans and 401(k) plans.
Yet MSCI's proposal would effectively deny those plans access to companies investing in digital assets — automatically moving billions in capital away from the sector and directly undermining one of this country's key economic and geopolitical goals.
MSCI's proposed changes regarding companies with significant cryptocurrency holdings could greatly impact firms like Strategy, which primarily invests in Bitcoin.
If MSCI excludes such companies from its indices, it may trigger billions in forced sell-offs, affecting their market value and the broader cryptocurrency market.
The decision on this proposal is expected by January 15, 2026, and will be crucial for the future of cryptocurrency in public markets.
