Overview

A key index-inclusion question for “digital asset treasury companies” moved from speculation to decision: MSCI concluded its review and opted not to exclude these firms from its global indexes at this time, while signaling more work ahead on how to classify non-operating companies. The decision quickly became a market and media focal point, with Strategy repeatedly cited as a bellwether name in the discussion.
