MSCI has launched a consultation on new financial screening criteria that could result in the removal of Strategy and Metaplanet from its global indexes.

The removal of Strategy alone could trigger between $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion in selling pressure from passive funds.

The final decision is scheduled for November 11, 2026, when the index review takes place.
