Financing pressure may increase as MSCI plans to remove asset-accumulating companies like Strategy

Odaily reported that MSCI is considering new rules that could remove companies primarily engaged in asset accumulation rather than operating businesses from its global equity indices, which may put new financing pressure on Strategy. If this methodology were applied using May data, Strategy, Japan's bitcoin reserve company Metaplanet, and uranium investment company Yellow Cake would be removed. Strategy has so far funded the purchase of over $60 billion in bitcoin through securities issuance. A potential index removal could shrink the pool of investors required to hold its stock, weaken demand for the shares, and increase the difficulty of continuing to raise funds to buy bitcoin.
