MSCI will remove Strategy, the largest corporate bitcoin holder, from the MSCI USA Index at the November 30, 2026 close after classifying it as a non-operating issuer. The decision also excludes the company from the MSCI World and MSCI ACWI indexes, while four other companies were removed from various national and segment indexes. As of November 8, Strategy held 850,364 bitcoin acquired for an aggregate $64.16 billion and represented more than 90% of the five companies’ combined float-adjusted market value. Funds tracking MSCI indexes must sell the affected securities by the deadline, potentially weighing on Strategy’s shares and the premium it uses to finance additional bitcoin purchases. The removal does not delist the company or require it to sell bitcoin, and Strategy says it would have no meaningful impact on its business.
