MSCI maintains the inclusion of digital asset companies in the index and will launch a broader review

PANews reported on January 7 that according to an announcement on MSCI’s official website, MSCI decided not to exclude “digital asset treasury companies” (DATCOs) from the index review in February 2026, and the existing inclusion list will remain unchanged. The decision responded to concerns from institutional investors that some DATCOs have similar characteristics to investment funds. MSCI will launch a wider market consultation on non-operating companies to develop more consistent inclusion criteria. During this period, these companies will not make adjustments to the number of shares and inclusion factors, nor will they add or change size segments. The list will be dynamically updated based on disclosures. Companies including Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) will temporarily maintain their index status.
