MSTR Soars 4% as MSCI “Gracefully” Spares DATs (For Now)

by

Investor confidence? More like investor panic… until this key 2026 risk vanished like my willpower on a Friday afternoon. 🤷‍♂️

On January 6th, MSTR stock surged 4.1% to $164.7, because nothing says “confidence” like a 4% bounce while BTC stutters like a teenager at prom. 🤡

Thanks to MSCI’s last-minute “maybe we’ll let them stay” vibes, MSTR dodged the chopping block after weeks of “are we gonna get axed?” drama. 🎬

MSCI Global Keeps MSTR… For Now

MSCI Global, the index gatekeepers, said they’ll keep MSTR and DATCos “for the time being”-translation: we’re too confused to kick you out yet. 🤡

“For the time being, the current index treatment of DATCOs… will remain unchanged.” – MSCI, clearly Googling “how to not look clueless” right now. 🤷‍♂️

MSCI added they need “further research” and new metrics-because their current ones are clearly just vibes and a Excel spreadsheet. 🤡

“Distinguishing between investment companies… requires further research.” – Because no one ever had a plan B when crypto got weird. 🤡

MSTR’s Chaotic Ride

MSTR shot up 6% to $171.9 post-update, because nothing says “stability” like a stock that looks like it’s doing the cha-cha slide. 🚀

But BTC’s rejection at $94K resistance made MSTR retreat like I do when my mom asks about my dating life. 😬

Strategy called the MSCI decision a “strong outcome for neutral indexing.” Chaitanya Jain, the voice of reason, added:

“Neutrality in indexing matters. Let the market choose winners and losers.” – Because letting the market decide is so reliable, right? 🤡

Will MSTR Keep Its Magic?

Bitcoin treasury firms are arguing they’re not “investment funds”-they’re just regular companies who like holding $673k BTC on the side. 🤡

Strategy also has to worry about preferred stock dividends-because who needs sleep when you’re juggling billions? 🤡

They expanded their USD reserve fund to $2.25B and scaled BTC holdings to 673,783 following Michael Saylor’s typical weekend “orange/green dot” signal-because weekends are for work, obviously. 🤡

In short: they can survive three years of dividends without selling BTC. Phew. 🤪

Final Thoughts

  • MSTR dodged the MSCI axe, but the ride remains as wild as a crypto Twitter thread at 2 AM. 🤡
  • MSTR jumped 6% but then panicked like I do when my Wi-Fi dies. 🤡
