Reuters: Strategy is in talks with MSCI about potential removal from its index.

According to a Reuters report, Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, is in talks with index provider MSCI about a possible removal from the MSCI USA and MSCI World indices.

MSCI is expected to make a decision on January 15, 2026. If the removal takes effect, it could trigger an outflow of up to $8.8 billion, especially funds held through passive investment vehicles such as ETFs.

Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the company is involved in the relevant processes but expressed uncertainty regarding the scale of the capital outflow predicted by JP Morgan. Saylor also noted that the recent sharp decline in Bitcoin prices from their all-time high of $120,000 in October, coupled with the AI bubble and economic uncertainty, has put pressure on risk assets. Strategy's stock price has fallen by more than 37% this year.

Strategy, a digital asset financial reserve company, provides investors with exposure to risky assets by holding cryptocurrencies, but the recent market downturn may force similar companies to sell assets, further exacerbating downward pressure on prices.
