MSCI has updated its Global Investable Market Index rules to reassess companies with significant digital-asset holdings, including Strategy, potentially excluding it as a non-operating investment vehicle, which could trigger approximately $2.8 billion in outflows from its stock. The final decision will be made after MSCI's November review, and the new rules take effect at the end of November 2026.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

MSCI is redefining index rules that directly threaten company eligibility if they rely heavily on digital assets. You must prepare for rapid investor rebalancing that could cut off access to major index funds starting November.
