Updated: Jan 07 2026- Stock Rebound: Strategy shares surged nearly 5% in after-hours trading following MSCI's decision not to immediately exclude crypto treasury firms, indicating a positive market reaction after a 4.1% decline during regular trading on Tuesday.
- Protection of Passive Inflows: MSCI's decision preserves billions in passive fund inflows, ensuring institutional demand for Strategy shares and avoiding potential forced selling that could arise from exclusion, thereby solidifying the company's market position.
- Digital Asset Holdings: Strategy currently holds 673,783 Bitcoin, valued at over $62 billion at current prices, providing a robust financial foundation that enhances its competitive edge in the crypto market.
- Impact of MSCI Review: MSCI will conduct broader consultations to determine whether digital asset companies should be classified as operating firms or investment entities, a review that will influence future market dynamics and investor confidence.
