MSCI to Remove Strategy From Its Global Standard Indexes, Effective After Nov. 30 Close

Nov. 12: According to the results of MSCI's November index review, Strategy (MSTR) will be removed from the MSCI Global Standard Indexes series, including the MSCI USA Index, with the change effective at the close on Nov. 30. Previously, on Oct. 15, MSCI finalized new rules: companies whose assets consist mainly of non-operating assets and that trigger at least four of five financial metrics will no longer be eligible for inclusion. After the removal, funds tracking the relevant indexes will need to sell Strategy shares, but Strategy itself does not need to sell any bitcoin.
