Related funds hold nearly $1.8 billion in MSTR, Strategy faces potential removal from MSCI indices

Odaily reports: Market analyst Murphy posted on X that MSCI officially approved new rules on October 15 to exclude non-operating companies that do not meet standards from its global investable market indices. Strategy had already been placed on the proposed removal list in a prior simulated screening, with the final results to be announced on November 11 and effective on November 30. Related index funds hold approximately 13 million shares of MSTR, valued at nearly $1.8 billion, equivalent to 60% of its 30-day average daily trading volume.

Murphy stated that Strategy's core logic lies in driving growth in net Bitcoin per share through capital operations, and whether it can sustain this depends on market premiums and the extent of their contraction. MSTR's future performance depends on three variables: Bitcoin price, net Bitcoin per share, and mNAV; as of market close on October 16, its mNAV stood at 1.08x.
