Matt Cole, CEO of Strive, criticized MSCI's updated framework for classifying companies with large Bitcoin holdings, arguing it fails to recognize firms actively managing Bitcoin treasuries through capital markets as operating businesses.

Cole emphasizes that companies like Strive, which use financial instruments to grow Bitcoin reserves, should not be treated as passive investment entities but as active businesses. The debate follows MSCI's 2025 proposal to exclude companies with over 50% digital assets from indices, which was later softened to a consultation process after industry pushback.
