Updated: Jan 06 2026- Stock Price Increase: Shares of Strategy rose 5.7% in after-hours trading following MSCI's announcement that it would not exclude digital asset treasury companies from its market index, indicating a renewed market confidence in digital assets.
- Market Impact: MSCI's statement ensures that digital asset treasury (DAT) companies remain eligible for passive index funds, sustaining demand and liquidity, which helps broaden institutional ownership of digital assets.
- Industry Context: Despite Strategy and other DATs experiencing share price declines in the latter half of 2025 due to questions about the sustainability of such strategies, this news brings new hope to the market.
- Asset Scale: As the largest crypto treasury firm, Strategy holds 673,783 Bitcoin (BTC) valued at nearly $63 billion, and this stock price rebound may attract more investor attention to its future prospects.
