MSCI finalizes index inclusion rules that may lead to the exclusion of certain companies described as “non-operating” investment vehicles. Outlets report that the new framework focuses on firms that exist mainly to hold investments, rather than operate a primary business.
Cointelegraph, CoinDesk, and The Block all say that Strategy and Metaplanet are among the companies flagged under the methodology. Cointelegraph additionally includes Upexi as previously identified for deletion, while The Block cites SharpLink as another firm at risk. Several outlets note that MSCI had proposed the rules in August and is now moving to a final determination.
All three sources point to a scheduled announcement date for the final affected-company list: Nov. 11. The outlets differ slightly in which companies they mention, reflecting the scope of firms identified under the methodology, but they agree on the overall direction and timing of MSCI’s index rule changes.
