MSCI’s crypto treasury rules could spur $15B of forced selling
Analysts estimated that crypto treasury firms face up to $11.6 billion in outflows if MSCI excluded them from its indexes.
Crypto treasury companies could be forced to sell as much as $15 billion in crypto if the Morgan Stanley Capital International Index (MSCI) goes ahead and excludes them from its indexes.
BitcoinForCorporations, a group campaigning against MSCI’s proposal, projected outflows of between $10 and $15 billion based on a “verified preliminary list” of 39 companies with $113 billion in total float-adjusted market capitalization.
It added that JPMorgan’s analysis estimated that Michael Saylor’s Strategy could see $2.8 billion in outflows if it were removed from the MSCI. The Bitcoin treasury firm represents 74.5% of the total impacted float-adjusted market cap.
