[Michael Saylor: MSCI's Plan to Remove MSTR Reflects Bias Against Digital Assets and May Set a Negative Precedent for the Industry] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on October 18, Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated in an interview with Bloomberg that if MSCI's new index rules lead to the removal of MSTR, the impact on Strategy itself would be limited, as the scale of related passive funds is relatively small. However, this move could set a "negative precedent" for the digital asset industry. Saylor believes that MSCI considers oil, natural gas, land, and machinery as capital but does not treat Bitcoin in the same way, reflecting a value judgment against digital assets. He also addressed the controversy over whether Strategy qualifies as an operating enterprise, stating that banks conduct business through credit, insurance companies through policies, and Strategy uses Bitcoin to support digital credit products, thus it should be regarded as an operational financial enterprise. Saylor hopes MSCI will reconsider the proposal.
