MSCI postpones review of digital asset treasury companies to February 2026

MSCI announced that it will retain Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs) in its indices, with a comprehensive review postponed until February 2026. The current definition remains unchanged, meaning companies with more than 50% of their total assets in digital assets will continue to be included in the indices. Companies such as Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) will temporarily maintain their index status. MSCI stated that investor feedback suggests some DATCOs are similar to investment funds, and further clarification is needed regarding the classification standards for non-operating asset companies. MSCI also plans to conduct broader market consultations in the future.
