‘Provide future qualification path’ — Strive challenges MSCI proposal to exclude Bitcoin treasuries

Strive challenged MSCI’s proposal to exclude companies whose primary business is holding Bitcoin from its equity indexes. The firm argued that such a policy would unfairly target Bitcoin treasury companies and urged MSCI to provide a clear path for future qualification rather than impose a blanket exclusion. The dispute could affect institutional index exposure and the ability of Bitcoin-holding companies to attract passive investment.
