Strategy Falls 5% on Its MSCI Deletion — and the “Institutions Buying” Bought Six Weeks Ago
Strategy fell about 5% Thursday, which Cointelegraph attributed to the MSCI removal and a wider bitcoin sell-off; Decrypt notes the deletion cascades from the USA Index into MSCI World and All Country World. Filings ahead of Monday’s 13F deadline show State Street’s stake up ~6% (~$1.22B) and Jane Street’s up ~54% — positions as of 30 September, predating MSCI’s decision.

MSCI Deletes Strategy and Metaplanet From Its Indexes — the Forced Sellers Get a Date: 30 November
MSCI’s November index review, published 11 November, marks Strategy (USA Index), Metaplanet (Japan Small Cap) and Upexi for deletion effective after the 30 November close under its October non-operating screening rules, per The Block and Cointelegraph; Cointelegraph reports SharpLink on a watchlist. JPMorgan earlier estimated ~$2.8B of index-linked selling for Strategy; Strategy counters that tracked funds hold ~3.1% of its shares — under a day’s volume.
