[MSCI Postpones Review of Digital Asset Treasury Companies to February 2026]
MSCI announced that it will retain Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs) in its indices, with a comprehensive review postponed to February 2026. The current definition remains unchanged, meaning companies with digital assets accounting for more than 50% of total assets will continue to be included in the indices. This includes companies such as Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which will temporarily retain their index status. MSCI stated that investor feedback suggests some DATCOs resemble investment funds, requiring further clarification on the classification standards for non-operating asset companies, and plans to conduct broader market consultations in the future.
