MSCI Adopts Index Exclusion Rules Threatening Strategy and Metaplanet Deletions

Original illustration by Vetting Smart.

Confirmed Facts

MSCI has officially adopted new index exclusion rules that may result in the removal of several companies from its benchmark indices. According to the reported methodology, Strategy, Metaplanet, and Upexi were previously identified for potential deletion. MSCI is scheduled to announce its final list of affected entities on November 11.

Possible Implications

• If these companies are removed, institutional funds and ETFs that track MSCI indices may be required to liquidate their holdings in these specific equities.
• For firms like Metaplanet, which utilizes a Bitcoin treasury strategy, exclusion from global indices could reduce passive capital inflows and institutional exposure to their stock.
