MSCI recently issued a statement regarding the treatment of companies like MicroStrategy in their stock indices. In simple terms, the companies currently included in the index can stay for now and won't be kicked out, which somewhat eases market concerns.

However, the key point is in what follows. MSCI explicitly stated that in the future, new companies similar to MicroStrategy will have no chance of entering their indices. Moreover, those already included should not expect their weightings within the index to increase.

What does this mean? Essentially, it reflects an observational stance—neither rushing to clear out these companies nor expanding the inclusion scope of this sector. For the Bitcoin ecosystem, this outcome is quite balanced, as it alleviates short-term risk of sudden crashes while showing that index providers remain cautious about adding new risks. This balanced approach—neither aggressive nor provocative—is quite common among major global index providers.

Micro strategies are temporarily alive, but the ceiling is definitely set, which is what MSCI means. Not allowing entry, not expanding rights, it looks Zen, but in reality it's a cold "enough." Want index endorsement and growth potential at the same time? Dream on, everyone. Basically, it's like being isolated and observed, feeling neither alive nor dead. MSCI's move is really clever—neither offending the crypto community nor setting an outright ceiling. Smart.

MicroStrategy has been left behind, but don't expect a turnaround; MSCI's move is really solid.

This move is truly a bureaucratic style—neither offending anyone nor making any promises. MSTRs can breathe a sigh of relief, but the new arrivals are shut out completely; reality is so harsh. MSCI's move is brilliant, a perfect example of sitting on the fence. It feels like waiting for a certain moment to arrive; for now, just coolly handle it. It's even harder for new projects to enter the index, and their weights don't increase—somewhat implying "do whatever you want." Basically, the voting rights are taken away; you're only allowed to sit there. This is a standard operation by financial institutions. But it's much better than being kicked out; at least you can still pretend inside and bluff people.

The stance is steady enough, neither kicking nor expanding, just observing coldly with that kind of attitude.

Micro strategies are temporarily alive, but the ceiling is deadlocked; newcomers have no chance.

Haha, MSCI is playing Tai Chi. They’re neither kicking people out nor allowing new entries, a typical fence-sitter.

Alright, MSCI's move is quite decent; they neither flip the table nor go all-in, just clearly showing a "we're watching" attitude. Don't even think about newcomers; that's a bit of a dead end. In fact, this is a kind of indirect suppression against micro-strategy types, with the ceiling right there.

Haha, MSCI's move is really brilliant. It not only makes you comfortable but also blocks the way for newcomers. But to be honest, this is clearly a strategy to undermine projects like Weiwei. Don't touch the existing ones for now, and don't even think about new ones coming in. Don't even think about increasing the weight. It feels like we're just aging.

Haha, MSCI's move is like "You guys don't die yet, but don't expect to grow either."

Now it's a situation of "let you live, but don't expect to grow," which sounds pretty clever.
