What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

MSCI announced new eligibility rules for its Global Investable Market Indexes, which will exclude companies classified as non-operating businesses starting November 30. These companies are those whose assets are primarily held for investment rather than used in operations. Michael Saylor and Phong Le publicly criticized MSCI's approach as discriminatory.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new rules affect companies whose assets are held primarily for investment. Analysts at JPMorgan estimated that an MSCI exclusion could trigger about $2.8 billion in outflows from Strategy stock, though Strategy argued the actual impact would be smaller.
