  • Strategy Stock Price Falls Below $94, Possibly Affected by MSCI's Plan to Exclude Bitcoin Treasury Companies

    Market data shows that Strategy (MSTR) stock price has fallen below $94, possibly influenced by MSCI's consideration to remove Bitcoin treasury companies from its index system. Analysts believe that if MSCI ultimately decides to exclude Bitcoin treasury companies from the index, it may lead to selling pressure from index funds on related companies and impact their capital market valuation logic. Supporters argue that companies like Strategy, by holding Bitcoin, create a unique balance sheet model that integrates digital assets into the traditional financial system, and these companies still possess long-term investment value. The community is currently urging MSCI to retain Strategy (MSTR) in the relevant indices.

  • Norwegian Sovereign Fund's Bitcoin Holdings Exceed 11,549, Setting New Record High
