Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategy, confirmed that the company is engaging with MSCI over possible exclusion from its global indexes due to its large Bitcoin holdings.
The potential exclusion could significantly impact market liquidity, volatility, and investor sentiment, challenging Strategy’s financial stability amid declining Bitcoin prices.
Strategy Chairman, Michael Saylor, confirmed discussions with MSCI concerning potential index exclusion due to the firm’s significant Bitcoin holdings. The announcement follows JPMorgan forecasts of substantial outflows if the stock is removed.

Stock market participants are closely monitoring the situation as Strategy’s potential index exclusion could intensify market volatility. The firm’s stock is sensitive to Bitcoin’s price, increasing risk for investors.

Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), said: “We’re engaging in that process” about talks with MSCI and disputes JPMorgan’s large outflow estimates as inaccurate. Possible financial outcomes of MSTR’s removal include altered investment plans and increased market fluctuations. Strategy’s significant Bitcoin reserves remain a central factor in these deliberations.
