TREE NEWS update: MSCI has adopted a new operating-asset test for digital asset treasury companies, adding a five-ratio screen for those that fail it. Its current list flags Strategy, Metaplanet and Upexi as possible deletions from MSCI indexes in November.
MSCI Adopts New Test; Strategy, Metaplanet Face Index Exit
The significance lies in MSCI formalising a screen that treats DATs more like operating businesses than index-eligible vehicles, which could push passive flows away from the flagged names. The immediate read-across is for peers whose treasury-heavy balance sheets may face the same test, not just the three listed. Whether other index providers adopt similar criteria, and how the flagged companies respond, is the open question.
