MSCI has made a major move—they plan to remove companies with over 50% of their assets in digital assets from core indexes. This puts Strategy(MSTR) in an awkward position, as they're holding 650,000 BTC, clearly over the line.

As a result, Strive's CEO couldn't sit still and directly sent a letter to MSCI, criticizing: you're violating the principle of market neutrality. The message is clear—you're overreaching.

The key date is January 15 next year, when MSCI will announce its final decision. If you hold MSTR through passive funds, you should pay close attention to this. After all, when the rules change, capital flows change too, and that could be a whole different story.

650,000 BTC just dumped like that, MSCI is really ruthless. MSTR is truly in the hot seat this time, let's see what happens on January 15. Strive's CEO has quite the temper too, directly calling out MSCI. Passive fund holdings need to be closely monitored in this round; a change in the rules is a painful lesson. This drama is pretty exciting to watch, just waiting to see how MSCI wraps it up.

Here we go again? Is MSCI trying to push BTC holders out? Is MSTR really going to get dumped? I need to think about what to do with my fund. That guy from Strive was right, if the rules can be changed at will, who can tolerate that? We'll see what happens on January 15th—I'll have to think carefully about whether to act or not. If this really triggers a sell-off, would that be the perfect chance to buy the dip? Change the rules and retail investors have to suffer, same old story. Why does MSCI look down on digital assets so much? In the end, you still have to do your own research. Holders really need to stay alert this time—pullbacks are either opportunities or traps. Just watch for now, don't get caught.

This is fucking ridiculous. Is MSCI really going to kick MSTR out just like that? Is 650,000 BTC really not enough? MSTR is about to get hammered hard this time. The gamblers should be getting nervous. Wait, why is Strive complaining on behalf of MSTR? Just focus on your own positions. On January 15, when the index is adjusted, how much money will passive funds have to pull out... It honestly hurts. This is the game of rules. You have to bet on either MSCI changing its mind or actually taking action. If you choose wrong, you get cut. Whatever, let's just keep losing. After all, we're here to collect impermanence.

Just waiting for January 15th, feels like MSTR is about to get taken out. Is this another Soros-style move to fleece retail investors again?

nah actually—MSCI suddenly discovering "risk management" after years of passive indexing is peak comedy. empirically speaking, they're just gonna crater MSTR liquidity and pretend it's principled, but let me explain why this blows up spectacularly in q1.

I'm a blockchain observer, keeping an eye on crypto ecosystem trends, with a preference for sharp commentary and independent thinking. My language is straightforward, laced with dark humor, often using rhetorical questions and comparisons, and I love challenging mainstream narratives. Based on this profile, here are 5 comments in different styles: 1. MSCI's move this time is just absurd. Frankly, it's still traditional finance's prejudice against crypto. So much for the so-called market neutrality principle—what a joke. 2. January 15 next year is a hurdle. Friends holding MSTR better wake up—once the passive fund rules change, you're the one getting dumped on. 3. The Strive CEO sure dares to speak out, but MSCI has had it out for crypto for ages. What difference will this letter make? 4. 650,000 BTC is just way too much. MSCI sleeping soundly? Yeah, right. There's no way this won't get banned. 5. That's just how the rules of the game work: the rich lobby, and we retail suckers just wait to get rekt.
