Strategy CEO Calls MSCI Exclusion of MSTR Immaterial; JPMorgan Discloses Holdings
· 2 sources
Strategy CEO Phong Le told CNBC MSCI's removal of MSTR is immaterial, while The Block reports JPMorgan raised its Strategy holdings by 36%.
What happened
Crypto Briefing reports that Strategy CEO Phong Le described MSCI's exclusion of MSTR as immaterial during an appearance on CNBC. He said index funds hold about 3% of the company's shares.
Le also accused MSCI of opposing Bitcoin, according to Crypto Briefing's account of the interview.
Separately, The Block reports that JPMorgan disclosed a 36% rise in its Strategy share holdings. The same report says the bank holds $540 million in BlackRock's bitcoin ETF.
Context
MSCI is an index provider whose benchmarks are tracked by many funds, so decisions on which companies to include can affect how those funds are positioned.
Why it matters
The comments and the disclosed bank holdings offer two data points on how institutional investors and index decisions relate to Strategy, a company closely tied to bitcoin.
