Strategy Nears 680,000 BTC Holdings Amid Potential MSCI Delisting

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has increased its Bitcoin holdings to 672,497 BTC with a recent acquisition, aiming for a total of 680,000 BTC. In December alone, the company acquired 22,498 BTC.

Stock Decline and Potential Delisting

  • Strategy's stock (MSTR) has dropped by over 50% in 2025, trading at around $163.
  • The firm faces potential delisting from the MSCI index due to holding digital assets amounting to more than 50% of total assets.
  • MSCI's decision could influence other index providers and potentially lead to significant financial impacts on Strategy.

Financial Implications

  • Strategy's CEO and co-founder discussed possible $2.8 billion stock liquidation if excluded from MSCI.
  • JPMorgan estimates $2.8 billion in outflows if MSCI excludes Strategy, escalating to $8.8 billion if delisted from additional indexes like Nasdaq 100.
  • Strategy might report substantial financial losses, contrasting the previous year's $2.8 billion profit.

Michael Saylor's personal wealth has decreased by approximately 40%, now estimated at $3.8 billion. Despite these challenges, cryptocurrency prices showed recovery, with major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, Solana, and XRP rising above key levels.
