TL;DR

Strategy Inc. retained its Nasdaq 100 spot after an annual review, but faces potential removal from the MSCI index due to a rule targeting companies with over 50% of assets in certain holdings, which could trigger significant stock sales by passive funds.

According to a report by Cointelegraph, Strategy Inc. retained its position in the Nasdaq 100 index during this year's annual review, marking its first successful reinstatement since joining the index last December. Following its recent purchase of 10,624 BTC for approximately $962.7 million, Strategy's total holdings reached 660,624 BTC, worth nearly $60 billion. Despite remaining in the index, Strategy's stock price closed down 3.74% that day and has fallen more than 15% over the past month. MSCI is considering excluding companies with more than 50% of their total assets from its indices, a move that could affect Strategy as early as January next year. JPMorgan has warned that if MSCI implements this rule, passive funds tracking the index could be forced to sell up to $2.8 billion worth of Strategy stock. Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor and CEO Phong Le have written to MSCI arguing that the company is an operating entity, not a passive investment vehicle.
