MSCI will decide on January 15 whether to remove publicly traded companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin, which could affect the index status of companies like MicroStrategy. This move may trigger capital flows and market changes, and attention should be paid to the rebalancing pressure on passive funds.

【Crypto World】MSCI is set to make a key decision on January 15th—whether to remove publicly traded companies that hold large Bitcoin reserves from its global benchmark index. This move may seem technical, but its impact is far-reaching. Major US Bitcoin holders like MicroStrategy could be the first to be affected. If removed, these companies’ index standings could face direct repercussions.

For Bitcoin holders, this news is worth paying attention to. Index adjustments often trigger shifts in capital flows, especially for funds that passively track MSCI, which may face rebalancing pressures. Institutional investors’ strategies involving Bitcoin-related companies in their index holdings could also be adjusted accordingly. Such policy-level changes often ripple through the market.

If MSCI really kicks MSTR out, the passive funds will be so uncomfortable... It feels like creating trouble for the Bitcoin ecosystem.

MSCI, are you trying to stir up trouble again? Removing holding companies from the index, isn't that indirectly shorting...

Damn, MSCI is really stirring up trouble, kicking out BTC whales? MicroStrategy must be crying. Wait, if this really happens, won't those passive tracking funds undergo a major reshuffle... where will the money flow? Another good hand, where is the promised institutional recognition? MSCI is really trying to stir up trouble now, let's watch the show, everyone. Can you stop always trying to bring down Bitcoin-related companies? So annoying. It sounds like they're handing a knife to the shorts, no problem. I've known for a long time that institutions wouldn't let this go smoothly, and this move is truly unprecedented.

This time MSCI is really going to cause trouble... If MicroStrategy gets kicked out, how much will passive funds have to run? --- Wait, will they really remove it? Feels like just testing the waters, mostly just bluffing. --- So, are institutional chips really so unstable? As soon as the index adjusts, everyone has to run, hilarious. --- January 15th is destined to be a hurdle, let's watch the show. --- Those tracking passively are really miserable, they get cut off just like that, reaction time is too slow. --- Will the index adjustment create ripples? Rather than ripples, it's more like falling straight into a pit, don't be too optimistic. --- Is MicroStrategy's story about to turn again... This plot is really dragging on. --- How will institutional investors choose? It's really hard to say, it all depends on their cost basis. --- Bitcoin holders? We've long been used to this kind of operation, haven't we? --- Once the policy wind shifts, funds have to obediently move positions, there's no escaping it.

It feels like MSCI's recent moves are a bit targeted... MicroStrategy guys need to be careful. --- With the index adjustment, passive funds have to follow the dance. How much will this cost in the end? --- Basically, is the institution trying to kick out BTC holders? That logic is a bit absurd. --- Here they go again? Every "technical adjustment" by MSCI hides a battle of interests. --- Watch the market reaction after January 15th; it feels like more volatility is coming. --- If MicroStrategy is kicked out of the index, is it a good time for retail investors to buy the dip? --- The rules of institutional play can change at any time, and we are always the last to know.

Here we go again, MSCI's set... Is MicroStrategy about to be kicked out? Now the index funds have to rebalance significantly. --- This is outrageous. A single notice directly affects the flow of funds. What about the passively managed funds... --- Waiting for the news on the 15th, it seems institutions are starting to reposition. --- Basically, it's a reshuffle of the index, and institutions holding the coins will have to reallocate... --- MSCI's move this time, does it feel a bit targeted?

Oh wow, MSCI is up to something again? MicroStrategy folks might really be panicking --- Wait, passive funds are rebalancing? Then we need to watch closely this time --- But honestly, how much impact does this kind of operation have on retail investors? Feels like it's all a game played by institutions --- See the results on January 15th, it seems another big show is about to unfold --- Changes in capital flow... Just hearing about it makes you know there will be volatility again, and this is when the most people get cut --- Can MSCI's decision really shake these companies? I remain skeptical --- Ripple effects at the policy level... Sounds nice, but actually, it just means someone is about to dump their holdings
