MSCI delays excluding digital asset reserve companies, Strategy stock price surges 6.58% after hours
【BlockBeats】There has been some movement in the financial index circle these days. MSCI announced that the proposal to remove digital asset holding company (DATCOs) from the MSCI Global Investable Market Index during the index review scheduled for February 2026 has now been put on hold.
Why the sudden change of heart? The reason is actually more profound. MSCI has decided to initiate a broader consultation regarding how to treat generally non-operational companies. In simple terms, they want to clarify: what kind of companies should remain in this index, and which should be excluded.
The key question is—how to distinguish between investment companies and non-investment companies? For example, if an entity operates digital assets as a core part of its business rather than purely for investment appreciation, where is the line drawn? MSCI admits that this requires careful research and more input from market participants. They are even considering adding new evaluation standards, possibly based on financial statement data or other indicators.
Interestingly, this news had an immediate impact on the market. Strategy(MSTR) surged by 6.58% after hours, indicating that investors are betting that this company will continue to stay in the index. From one perspective, this reflects a new round of market expectations regarding the regulation of digital asset companies.
