The global index provider MSCI is considering excluding companies that hold digital assets exceeding 50% of their total assets from its indices. JPMorgan analysts estimate that if MSCI removes Strategy, it could lead to an outflow of $2.8 billion, and if other indices follow suit, the outflow could reach $8.8 billion. The MSCI consultation period will end on January 15, and currently, 38 companies face exclusion risks with a total market capitalization of $46.7 billion.
