The world\u2019s largest Bitcoin treasury firm hit back at MSCI, adding that neither Strategy nor Bitcoin needs it to survive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin doesn\u2019t need MSCI. Neither does Strategy.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, the firm tried to defend the need for it to stay on the index listing, noting that,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital assets are assets. Index providers should measure markets, not decide which assets companies are allowed to own. MSCI\u2019s proposal puts it out of step with regulators, markets, and its own customers.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Will Bitcoin treasury firms block MSCI index exclusion?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the second attempt MSCI Inc. is trying to block Strategy and other firms that buy and hold crypto assets (non-operating companies) from its indices. Earlier this year, MSCI shelved a similar plan following massive backlash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the backlash, Bitcoin treasury firms maintained that MSCI was wrongly targeting the crypto sector. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To likely clear the bias argument, MSCI came back with a <a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/strategy-faces-fresh-msci-threat-as-mstr-risks-index-deletion-details\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broader framework<\/a>. The new rule flagged even Yellow Cake, a firm that buys and holds uranium, to be excluded from the index.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now crypto supporters\u2019 counter-argument has gone from bias to \u201cMSCI shouldn\u2019t decide which assets companies are allowed to own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For his part, Khing Oei, CEO of Treasury B.V, Europe\u2019s first BTC treasury firm backed by the Winklevoss twins, said,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategy runs a permanent capital operation, listed preferreds and converts repriced by the credit market every day. Reading that as a passive holding is measuring the wrong side of the balance sheet.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For perspective, the new broader framework still seeks to exclude \u201cnon-operating companies\u201d from its listing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if a firm does not generate income from active business services, it will be flagged. Additional screening targets operating cash and five other metrics (financial ratios).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Oei, however, Strategy\u2019s preferred stocks like STRC, which represent &#8216;digital credit&#8217;, qualify the firm as an operating company. In short, Strategy should not be excluded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_625386\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-625386\" style=\"width: 847px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-120233.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-625386\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-120233.png\" alt=\"Strategy MSCI\" width=\"847\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-120233.png 847w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-120233-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-120233-768x362.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-625386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Rising risk of MSCI&#8217;s threat<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, MSCI thinks otherwise; the two top BTC treasury firms are among the ones marked for deletion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It remains to be seen if the industry will convince MSCI that Strategy and Metaplanet are \u201coperating companies.\u201d Feedback on the proposed rule will be finalized by September and a decision made by October.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MSTR initially dropped by 2% during pre-market hours on Friday after the update.
