Strategy, the company led by Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, has successfully held its place in the Nasdaq-100 Index following the index’s annual reconstitution.
While this strengthens its position in major markets, another key decision is still ahead, as MSCI will rule on January 15 whether to remove bitcoin-focused companies like Strategy.
Strategy Retains Nasdaq-100 Position
According to Nasdaq’s official reconstitution announcement made on Friday, the index added six new companies and removed six others, but Strategy remained unchanged.
The update will take effect on December 22 and secures Strategy’s position in the Nasdaq-100 for another 12 months, marking a full year since it first joined the index in December 2024.
Staying in the index means Strategy will continue to be included in major exchange-traded funds such as the Invesco QQQ, which manages tens of billions of dollars in assets.
MSCI Index Exclusion Risks Still Remains
While Nasdaq has confirmed Strategy’s place for now, another major index provider, MSCI, is considering excluding companies with more than 50% of assets in digital assets like bitcoin. A final decision is expected around January 15, 2026.
Analysts warn that if Strategy were removed from MSCI or other key indexes, this could trigger billions in passive fund outflows, possibly forcing large selling of Strategy stock.
However, for now, Strategy’s Nasdaq-100 retention signals growing comfort among mainstream investors with Bitcoin-linked business models
Strategy Bitcoin Holding Continue To Profit
According to recent filings, Strategy holds a huge bitcoin treasury of 660,624 BTC worth around $60 billions, making it one of the largest corporate holders in the world.
While Strategy posts strong profits thanks to crypto gains, including a reported $2.78 billion profit in Q3 2025 some market observers argue its business looks more like a bitcoin investment fund than a traditional tech company.
Therefore, when bitcoin price fall nealy 30% from its highs of $126K, Strategy’s stock slid sharply, reflecting heightened risk perception among investors.
Despite the bullish news, Strategy Inc (MSTR) stock is down by 7% trading around $176.5
