Bitcoin News posted on X that MSCI is advancing a proposed methodology that would classify Michael Saylor's Strategy, Japan's Metaplanet, and other digital asset treasury companies as "non-operating" enterprises, potentially excluding them from the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes. JPMorgan estimates that passive funds tracking MSCI indexes may be forced to sell $2.8 billion worth of MSTR shares; if other index providers adopt similar rules, the broader capital outflow could reach $8.8 billion.
