MSCI Keeps Digital Asset Treasury Companies in Indexes

MSCI announced it will keep digital asset treasury (DAT) companies, such as Michael Saylor’s Strategy, in its global indexes, despite initial concerns about their investment-oriented nature. This decision followed investor feedback, though MSCI indicated these firms will be subject to a broader review to ensure consistency with the indexes' goal of measuring operating companies. The continued inclusion is crucial as it keeps DATs eligible for passive index funds, which supports demand and liquidity for digital assets. Strategy, the largest crypto treasury firm holding significant Bitcoin, saw its shares rise 5.7% after the announcement, recovering some losses from late 2025 when the sustainability of these strategies was questioned.
