BlockBeats News, January 7th, MSCI announced that it has decided not to proceed with the proposal to exclude Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs) from the MSCI Global Investable Market Index (MSCI Index) in the February 2026 index review.

MSCI plans to initiate a broader consultation on the treatment of general non-operating companies. This broader review is designed to ensure consistency and to continue to align with the overall objectives of the MSCI Index, which is to measure the performance of operating companies and to exclude entities whose primary activities are fundamentally investment-oriented.

Distinguishing between investment companies and other companies (the latter holding non-operating assets such as digital assets as part of their core operations rather than for investment purposes) will require further study and consultation with market participants. For example, assessing the index eligibility of such entities may require additional inclusion criteria, such as financial statement-based metrics or other indicators.

According to Bitget TradFi data, in response to this news, MicroStrategy (MSTR) rose by 6.58% in after-hours trading.
