Crypto treasury companies may be forced to liquidate as much as $15 billion in digital assets if MSCI moves forward with a proposal to exclude them from its indexes.
According to estimates from BitcoinForCorporations, potential outflows could range between $10 billion and $15 billion based on a preliminary list of impacted firms.
JPMorgan analysis cited by the group suggests that Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, could alone face nearly $2.8 billion in outflows if removed. Strategy accounts for the majority of the affected float-adjusted market capitalization among impacted companies.
Analysts warn that such large-scale selling could intensify downward pressure on crypto markets, which have already trended lower for several months. MSCI’s indexes serve as key benchmarks for passive investment funds, making inclusion decisions highly influential for capital access.
Critics argue that evaluating companies primarily on crypto balance sheet exposure is unfair and have urged MSCI to reconsider before final conclusions are announced in January, with implementation scheduled for early 2026.
