MicroStrategy Could Be Removed From Major Global Stock Indexes

MSCI may remove MicroStrategy (MSTR) from its global stock indexes due to its significant Bitcoin holdings, treating it more as an investment vehicle than an operating business. MSTR disputes this, arguing its software sales and trading volume make it a conventional company. Exclusion could trigger ETF sell-offs, but MSTR says daily trading volume is sufficient to absorb the impact. MSCI will announce affected companies on November 11, with changes effective after November 30.
