MSCI excludes Bitcoin treasury firms from indexes, risking forced share sales and price pressure.

MSCI finalized a rule effective Nov. 30 that excludes "non-operating companies" from its Global Investable Market Indexes, targeting firms like Michael Saylor's Strategy whose assets are mostly Bitcoin. The rule removes a previous reprieve for companies holding over 50% digital assets and uses financial ratio tests to determine eligibility. This change could force index-tracking funds to sell shares of affected companies, potentially lowering their stock prices. MSCI will publish the list of affected firms on Nov. 11, while companies like Metaplanet and Strategy are adjusting their holdings in response.

The MSCI rule change affecting Bitcoin treasury companies provides context for cryptocurrency market activity on Pluang. For readers following digital assets, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 17, 2026 01:31 WIB: out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, 19 rose and 30 fell. Notable movers include EOS at Rp12.649 with an 8.13% increase and FIL at Rp20.439 with a 5.37% increase, while XTZ declined by 4.16% to Rp5.512.
