Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform stating that MSCI has proposed new rules targeting "non-operating companies." According to a simulation conducted by MSCI in May 2026, Strategy would be removed from its global investable market index. Strategy, along with Metaplanet and Yellow Cake, are the three companies listed in the simulated removal from the MSCI ACWI IMI. The proposed methodology would screen companies based on their operating assets, expenses and cash flows, non-operating fair value changes, and the extent to which they rely on accumulated assets raised through financing. The final criterion would directly target Strategy's model of accumulating Bitcoin through issuing equity and debt. The rules have not yet been finalized, with the comment period ending on September 30. MSCI is expected to make a decision by October 16, and related adjustments could be implemented during the November 2026 index review.
