🚨 BREAKING: Michael Saylor Fires Back at MSCI 🚨
Michael Saylor has officially responded to the MSCI classification controversy:
“MicroStrategy is not a fund, not a trust, and not a holding company. We’re a publicly traded operating company with a $500M software business — and a unique treasury strategy that uses Bitcoin as productive capital.”
This statement comes right after MSCI launched a formal consultation on how to classify Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATs).
MSCI’s stance?
They see these companies as closer to investment funds than traditional operating businesses.
⚠️ Why this matters
Investment funds and trusts are not eligible for MSCI’s major benchmark indexes — like the MSCI USA Index and MSCI World Index.
So if MSCI decides MicroStrategy is effectively an investment fund or trust, $MSTR could face benchmark exclusion — a genuinely market-moving event.
Meanwhile…
📉 $MSTR is down 70% from its peak.
