MSCI Removes MicroStrategy and Metaplanet from Global Indices

MicroStrategy and Metaplanet will be removed from MSCI's global indices on May 30, 2026. The decision was made after both companies failed to meet market capitalization and liquidity requirements.

The removal is a technical adjustment, not a negative evaluation of their operational performance. MSCI's assessment methodology focuses on quantitative criteria rather than business models or strategic directions.

This move will trigger selling by passive funds that track the indices, which could lead to downward pressure on MicroStrategy and Metaplanet's stock prices in the short term. However, active investors who are bullish on these companies' Bitcoin strategies may view this as an opportunity to buy at lower prices.
