Crypto treasury firms Sharplink and Forward Industries are set to be added to the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes, according to data cited by multiple outlets. Both The Block and Decrypt report that the firms will be included at the end of June, indicating the change follows Russell’s scheduled index-rebalancing process.
The reporting also references the scale of assets tied to the Russell U.S. index family, noting that approximately $12.2 trillion in investor assets are benchmarked to the Russell U.S. indexes. This context frames the potential impact of index inclusions, since passive and benchmark-tracking strategies may adjust holdings when new constituents are added.
No further details about the companies’ financial performance, market capitalization, or specific eligibility criteria are provided in the two sources. The main common elements are the firms’ names, their planned index additions, the specific Russell index tiers involved (2000 and 3000), and the timing at the end of June.
