MSCI DELAYS REVIEW OF DIGITAL ASSET TREASURY COMPANIES UNTIL FEBRUARY 2026

According to Reuters, MSCI said it will not remove Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs) from its indexes in the near term and will maintain its current classification. Companies with digital assets accounting for more than 50% of total assets will continue to be included, with a comprehensive review postponed until February 2026.

Firms such as Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) will therefore retain their index status for now. MSCI noted that investor feedback suggests some DATCOs resemble investment funds, requiring further clarification on how non-operating asset-heavy companies should be classified. A broader market consultation is planned going forward.
