In a note published on Tuesday, MSCI stated that it has \u201cdetermined at this time not to implement the proposal to exclude digital asset treasury companies from the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes as part of the February 2026 Index Review.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, it added<\/a> that it intends to open a \u201cbroader consultation on the treatment of non-operating companies generally.\u201d\u00a0In October, the MSCI announced that it was consulting with the investment community about whether to exclude DATs that have the majority of their balance sheet in crypto.<\/p>\n MSCI\u2019s indexes serve as critical benchmarks for passive investments and holdings. Remaining in MSCI indexes is crucial for DATs because it ensures access to passive index fund capital. It\u00a0identifies \u201cDATCOs\u201d as companies in which 50% or more of their total assets are crypto assets.<\/p>\n BitcoinForCorporations, a group campaigning against the proposal, projected outflows of up to $15 billion should DATs be excluded. Companies such as Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy would have been deeply impacted.<\/p>\n TODAY: MSCI has decided it will NOT exclude #Bitcoin<\/a> treasuries from their global indexes.<\/p>\n 1,500+ signatures THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to @BitcoinForCorps<\/a> efforts to defend index integrity.<\/p>\n Vires in numeris! pic.twitter.com\/9cfq6X8H42<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Bitcoin For Corporations (@BitcoinForCorps) January 6, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n \u201cUp to $15 billion in forced selling just got taken off the table,\u201d commented<\/a> macroeconomics outlet Milk Road.<\/p>\n \u201cThat removes a major overhang that markets were watching and avoids billions in forced selling.
