SEC Targets Strategy Removal from Benchmarks

Strategy Faces Potential Exclusion from Major Equity Indices

• Strategy is at risk of being removed from major equity indices, including MSCI USA and Nasdaq 100.
• JPMorgan analysts warn that up to $2.8 billion could exit if MSCI excludes the stock due to new digital asset policies.
• The company’s Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet now reflects crypto-market volatility rather than traditional equity behavior.
• Preferred shares are declining sharply, with yields rising, indicating investor concerns over Strategy’s financial model sustainability.
• MSCI is expected to announce its decision following market consultations on proposed digital asset exclusion policies.

Strategy’s potential removal from key indices could result in significant outflows, as noted by JPMorgan analysts. The firm’s reliance on Bitcoin has led to increased volatility concerns among investors.
