Michael Saylor’s strategic win lands MicroStrategy a spot in the MSCI Index

MSCI Inclusion Confirmed

Michael Saylor announced on X that MicroStrategy will stay in MSCI’s global indexes. MSCI had previously considered removing firms that hold crypto assets from its benchmarks. The provider suspended that proposal, keeping the company in the index.

Effect on MicroStrategy

Retaining MSCI status preserves exposure to passive funds, supporting liquidity and valuation. The decision removes a major overhang that could have triggered sell‑offs if the stock were excluded. It validates Saylor’s strategy of holding over 214,000 BTC as a primary treasury asset.

Broader Market Implications

MSCI’s shift reflects growing regulatory clarity, such as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, and clearer accounting guidance. Institutional demand for crypto assets is solidifying, prompting other index providers to reassess similar policies. The move lowers a perceived barrier for other public companies considering Bitcoin treasuries, signaling a path toward mainstream adoption.
