MSCI finalizes index rules that put Strategy, crypto treasury firms at risk of exclusion

60-second summary

MSCI finalizes non‑operating company rules that could bar Strategy, Metaplanet and SharpLink from its indices, with the definitive list slated for release on November 11. The firms risk exclusion because their crypto‑treasury activities fall outside MSCI’s operational criteria, potentially reducing index weighting, investor exposure and capital inflows for the broader digital‑asset sector.
