Odaily News: MSCI has announced the formal adoption of its Non-Operating Company Index Exclusion Rules, which will be implemented during the November 2026 index review and take effect after the close of trading on November 30. Under the new rules, MSCI will first assess whether a company holds substantial operating assets; companies that fail the initial screening will undergo five financial ratio tests; if at least four exclusion criteria are triggered, the company will be ineligible for index inclusion. Bitcoin treasury companies Strategy and Metaplanet face potential removal, with the final list to be announced on November 11. JPMorgan previously estimated that if Strategy is removed from the MSCI index, it could face approximately $2.8 billion in selling pressure.
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. Strategy's reverse analysis shows that MSCI-tracking funds hold approximately 3.1% of its outstanding shares; a final decision is expected around October 16, with implementation potentially beginning on November 30.
