MSCI Removes Strategy (MSTR) From Its USA Index, Forcing Index Funds to Sell by Nov. 30

MSCI will remove Strategy, the largest corporate bitcoin holder, from the MSCI USA Index as of the close of Nov. 30, the index provider said Wednesday, after a new screen classified the company as a non-operating issuer.

The decision is part of MSCI’s November 2026 Index Review, posted shortly after 5 p.m. ET. Official additions and deletions lists show Strategy (MSTR) out of its USA Index, which also takes it out of the broader MSCI World and ACWI indexes. The same review deletes Japan’s Metaplanet from the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index and uranium holder Yellow Cake from the MSCI United Kingdom Small Cap Index, and it removes Iceland’s Skel Fjárfestingafélag from the MSCI Iceland Frontier Markets Small Cap Index and micro-cap Upexi from the USA Micro Cap Index. All five had already been marked Deleted on MSCI’s potential-impact list, built on Sept. 30 financial data and Oct. 9 market values.

Strategy is the only large-cap name in the group and, on that October list, accounted for more than 90% of the five companies’ combined float-adjusted market value. The company held 850,364 bitcoin as of Nov. 8, acquired at an average price of $75,456 a coin, or $64.16 billion in aggregate.

Strategy shares closed at $122.35, up 1.06%, then slipped 1.51% to $120.50 in after-hours trading as of 5:34 p.m. ET.

The rule does not mention bitcoin. The index first checks whether a company’s operating assets equal at least 50% of total assets.
