MSCI Confirms Strategy and Metaplanet Removal at November’s Rebalance

TL;DR: MSCI has confirmed that Strategy and Metaplanet will leave relevant equity indexes after the November 30 close. The change redirects benchmark-tracking funds’ shareholdings; it does not itself require either company to sell Bitcoin. The uncertainty over whether MSCI would remove two prominent Bitcoin treasury companies has become a dated implementation event. Its November review places Strategy among US standard-index deletions and Metaplanet among Japanese small-cap deletions. That gives investors a specific question to assess: how will demand for these companies’ shares change when funds following the affected benchmarks rebalance? It is a different question from whether the companies remain able or willing to hold Bitcoin. The November lists make the decision concrete MSCI’s standard-index changes name Strategy A in the US deletions column.
