MSCI to delete Strategy’s shares after November 30, triggering potential multi‑billion dollar outflows
MSCI announced it will remove Strategy (MSTR) from its global indexes effective after the close on November 30, 2026, classifying the company as a non‑operating fund. The move could force $2.8 billion to $8.8 billion of share sales, according to JP Morgan estimates. Strategy’s stock fell 3.64% to $110.24 on November 13 and its CEO said the impact would be minimal. The company raised $283.8 million from common‑stock sales in a week, spending $81.9 million on Bitcoin purchases.
Why it matters
The estimated $2.8 billion‑$8.8 billion forced outflow could pressure Strategy’s share price and liquidity. Removal from MSCI indexes also eliminates index‑fund buying, reducing a source of demand for the stock.
