Strategy Inc., the company long associated with Michael Saylor’s big Bitcoin bets, is facing the real risk of being dropped from major stock indexes — a move that could force billions of dollars of forced selling and change how investors get exposure to Bitcoin.
MSCI is consulting on a proposal to exclude companies whose digital-asset holdings make up 50% or more of total assets, a threshold that would put Strategy squarely in the crosshairs of the review.
Strategy recently changed terms around equity issuance, giving itself wider leeway to sell stock even when its market valuation is weak. That can help fund more Bitcoin buys. It also raises concerns about dilution for existing shareholders and adds pressure if index-tracking funds must sell shares.
JPMorgan’s analysis highlights a near-term date to watch: the index review process points to decisions expected by Jan. 15, 2026, which could mark a turning point for how public markets treat companies that sit mostly in crypto.
