Index giant MSCI announces its decision January 15 on excluding companies with over 50% digital assets, including Bitcoin holders MicroStrategy and Metaplanet, potentially triggering $10-15B in forced sales and reshaping corporate Bitcoin strategies.
Corporate Bitcoin treasuries swung into widespread unrealized losses in November, as Bitcoin’s brief drop below $90,000 left roughly 65% of measurable corporate holders in the red.
Strategy released a letter to MSCI arguing that their proposed digital asset threshold is “misguided” and would have “profoundly harmful consequences."
Strategy’s Michael Saylor claims he met with every Middle East sovereign wealth fund to pitch Bitcoin-backed credit, positioning digital capital as a yield-generating alternative to traditional fixed income.
