MSCI Proposal Could Remove Strategy, Metaplanet, Yellow Cake From Major Indexes
MSCI is trading near its 52-week low of $501.08 (7.5% above the low).
Summary
MSCI is considering a new operating assets screening mechanism that could exclude Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, Japanese firm Metaplanet, and uranium holder Yellow Cake from its major indexes. JPMorgan estimates that removing Strategy alone could trigger $2.8 billion in selling from funds tracking MSCI indexes, rising to $8.8 billion if other index providers follow suit. A decision is expected by October 16, with any changes taking effect in the November index review around December 1. This is a material development for MSCI's index methodology and could have significant ripple effects across crypto-adjacent and uranium equities. The proposal follows MSCI's recent expansion into private markets and climate risk data, but this screening change represents a new regulatory-style intervention in index composition.
At the time of this announcement, MSCI was trading at $538.66 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $39.2B. The 52-week trading range was $501.08 to $644.77.
