Strategy Inc. defends its Bitcoin treasury model. It faces an MSCI reclassification, which could remove it from major indices due to its exposure to BTC.
Michael Saylor responded to an MSCI Index matter. Strategy is not a fund, trust, or holding company. They are a publicly traded operating company. They have a $500 million software business.

These securities are $STRK, $STRF, $STRD, $STRC and $STRE. They are worth in excess of $7.7 billion notional value. They also launched Stretch ($STRC). This is a revolutionary Bitcoin-backed treasury credit instrument. It offers variable monthly USD yield. This is to the benefit of institutional and retail investors.

Funds and trusts are passive asset holders. Holding companies simply sit on investments. Strategy is what creates, structures, issues and operates. Their team creates a new type of enterprise. This is a structured finance company that is backed by Bitcoin. It is innovative in capital markets as well as software.
This could not be achieved by any passive vehicle or holding company. Index classification does not define them. Their strategy is still long-term. Moreover, the Strategy belief in Bitcoin is unshakable, and its mission remains the same. They aim to create the first digital monetary institution in the world. This is on a basis of sound money and financial innovation.
In the depths of the 2022 crypto winter, our average cost basis was $30K while $BTC traded nearly 50% below it at $16K. What did we do? We bought more.

Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) commented on X. During the bear market in 2022, its average purchase price of BTC was around $30,000. When BTC dropped to around $16K (about 50% its cost), the firm made additions to its holdings. This statement suggests the firm will possibly keep accumulating BTC in the current downturn.
MSCI Reclassification Threatens Strategy Inc.’s Index Presence
Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy Inc., is under major threat. This has a great effect on its stock market presence. And according to Bloomberg, potential dangers loom large. The firm could be removed from the MSCI USA and Nasdaq 100 indices.
In addition, this critical review focuses on the huge exposure of the company to Bitcoin. Consequently, index providers have a new perspective of the firm. They perceive it more of an investment fund. This designation typically disqualifies a company from common equity benchmarking.
MSCI, a global index provider, is in the process of a consultation process. This is about new criteria for the inclusion of an index. In this light, they suggest to exclude certain firms. These are companies whose digital asset holdings are more than 50% of their total assets.
Therefore, Strategy Inc. is one of the most vulnerable companies. This new policy affects them directly. The consultation period is due to end before the end of the year. The result will have a major influence on Strategy Inc.’s future index participation. This highlights the changing nature of incorporating digital assets in conventional finance.
