Prediction Markets Price 90% Odds of Strategy's MSCI Index Removal
MSTR sits 80% above its 52-week low of $81.81.
Summary
Polymarket now prices a 90% chance Strategy gets dropped from MSCI indexes by December 31, up sharply in a single day after MSCI adopted rules excluding non-operating companies. MSCI announces its final list November 11 and applies changes after the close on November 30. If removal happens, index funds must sell Strategy shares, creating forced selling independent of earnings or Bitcoin's price. Strategy has argued the direct hit is limited: MSCI GIMI-tracking funds hold about 13 million shares, or 3.1% of outstanding stock, less than average daily volume. The bigger risk is the funding channel — a weaker stock makes it harder to raise capital for Bitcoin purchases, and the company is already planning up to $80B of 2026 debt and equity issuance. Watch the November 11 MSCI list for the actual decision.
