According to Reuters, the world's largest Bitcoin corporate holder, Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), is in discussions with index provider MSCI regarding a potential removal from the MSCI USA and MSCI World indices.
MSCI is expected to make a decision on January 15, 2026, and if the removal goes through, it could trigger up to $8.8 billion in fund outflows, particularly from funds held through passive investment tools like ETFs.
Strategy's CEO Michael Saylor stated that the company is participating in the process but is uncertain about JP Morgan's forecasted fund outflow. Saylor also mentioned that the recent drop in Bitcoin prices from the historical high of $120,000 in October, combined with AI bubble and economic uncertainty, has put pressure on risk assets. Strategy's stock price has fallen over 37% this year.
As a digital asset financial reserve company, Strategy provides investors with exposure to risk assets by holding cryptocurrencies, but the recent market downturn may force similar companies to sell assets, further exacerbating downward price pressure.
