MSTR's position in the MSCI index is temporarily stable. Although the decision originally scheduled for January 15th was published early, the results were quite favorable for MicroStrategy — they successfully retained their status as a constituent of the MSCI index.

MSCI officially acknowledged that the classification standards between Digital Asset Technology (DAT) companies and traditional investment companies still require further research and refinement. This ruling essentially eliminated a tail risk — avoiding the worst-case scenario where MSTR could be removed from the index due to ambiguous identity positioning.

This decision has released a clear signal: mainstream index providers are taking the classification of crypto-related enterprises seriously, while also indicating that market acceptance of such companies is rising. For investors holding MSTR or paying attention to this category of assets, this undoubtedly reduces regulatory uncertainty.
