Strategy ($MSTR+WL) faces Morgan Stanley Capital International's ($MSCI+WL) November index review on Wednesday, the first under new rules making non-operating companies ineligible for benchmarks. $MSCI+WL plans to release additions and deletions after 5 p.m. ET, with changes taking effect at the close of November 30.
Under the consultation released in August, a simulation using May 2026 data indicated Strategy would be one of three companies deleted from the $MSCI+WL ACWI IMI, alongside Metaplanet and Yellow Cake, while SharpLink Inc ($SBET+WL), Center Laboratories, and Lydia Holding were slated for a public watchlist. The review follows an October 2025 freeze on index weighting increases for companies whose digital assets made up 50% or more of their total assets.
Strategy criticized the final rules as discriminatory and arbitrary in a letter to $MSCI+WL's Equity Index Committee, arguing the division between operating and non-operating assets lacked standard accounting definitions. Meanwhile, Strategy stock was up over 1% in overnight trading after closing down over 3% on Tuesday, while Stocktwits retail sentiment shifted from bearish to extremely bearish with low chatter volume.

Who wins / who loses
Digital asset treasury companies face potential index exclusion and passive selling pressure, while standard operating firms in broad indexes remain unaffected.
