for subheads. We'll also need to ensure we don't use any banned phrases. Let's write. I'll write the content as a string. We'll also need to compute word count. We'll do that after. Let's draft. Lead: MSCI is consulting on a rule that would make companies like Strategy ineligible for its global indexes, a change that could force index-tracking funds to sell the Bitcoin-heavy stock. The index provider wants to define "Non-Operating Companies" and exclude them from its Global Investable Market Indexes. Strategy responded on X, saying "Digital assets are assets. Index providers should measure markets, not decide which assets companies are allowed to own." Then H2: "What MSCI is proposing" Paragraph: The consultation, which runs until September 30, would create a new category for companies that don't operate a traditional business. Under the proposal, a company that holds large amounts of digital assets or other non-operating investments could be deemed non-operating and removed from the indexes. The list of companies that would be affected includes Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Japanese Bitcoin treasury Metaplanet, and uranium investment company Yellow Cake. Based on financial filings as of May 2026, Strategy and Metaplanet already meet the criteria for removal under the proposed rule. H2: "Strategy fires back" Paragraph: Strategy didn't take the news quietly. On X, the company wrote: "Bitcoin doesn't need MSCI. Neither does Strategy." The response came after MSCI's consultation was made public. The company has been buying Bitcoin since August 2020 and has spent around $63.3 billion on the asset, making it the largest corporate holder. H2: "The November review" Paragraph: If MSCI adopts the rule, both Strategy and Metaplanet would be deleted from the MSCI ACWI IMI Index as part of the November 2026 Index Review. That would trigger forced selling by index-tracking funds and cut off future passive inflows. The consultation may or may not result in changes, but the deadline for feedback is September 30. H2: "The cost of being a Bitcoin treasury" Paragraph: The market is already reacting. MSTR was trading nearly 3% lower Friday at nearly $95 per share, and the stock is down nearly 40% year-to-date. The proposal adds another layer of uncertainty for a company whose entire strategy is built around Bitcoin. That's about 300 words. We need to expand. Let's add more detail. We can add a sentence about the impact of being excluded from the index. We can also mention that the rule would also affect Yellow Cake, but we already did. We can also mention that the consultation is open for feedback. We can also mention that the company's response was on X. We can also mention that the stock drop is in reaction to the news. We can also mention that the company has been buying since 2020. Let's expand each paragraph. Lead: MSCI is consulting on a rule that would make companies like Strategy ineligible for its global indexes, a change that could force index-tracking funds to sell the Bitcoin-heavy stock. The index provider wants to define "Non-Operating Companies" and exclude them from its Global Investable Market Indexes. Strategy responded on X, saying "Digital assets are assets. Index providers should measure markets, not decide which assets companies are allowed to own." We can add a sentence: "The consultation, which opened this week, is part of MSCI's periodic review of its index methodology." But we don't have that fact. We know it's consulting, but not when it opened. We can say "The consultation is open for feedback until September 30." That's a fact. Let's restructure. We'll write: Lead: MSCI is consulting on a rule that would make companies like Strategy ineligible for its global indexes, a change that could force index-tracking funds to sell the Bitcoin-heavy stock.

The list of companies that would be affected includes Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Japanese Bitcoin treasury Metaplanet, and uranium investment company Yellow Cake. Based on financial filings as of May 2026, Strategy and Metaplanet already meet the criteria for removal under the proposed rule. That means the change, if adopted, would hit two of the most prominent Bitcoin treasury companies in the world. H2: "Strategy fires back" Paragraph: Strategy didn't take the news quietly. On X, the company wrote: "Bitcoin doesn't need MSCI. Neither does Strategy." The response came after MSCI's consultation was made public. The company has been buying Bitcoin since August 2020 and has spent around $63.3 billion on the asset, making it the largest corporate holder. For a company that has tied its entire corporate identity to Bitcoin, the idea of being excluded from a major index is a direct challenge to its strategy. H2: "The November review" Paragraph: If MSCI adopts the rule, both Strategy and Metaplanet would be deleted from the MSCI ACWI IMI Index as part of the November 2026 Index Review. That would trigger forced selling by index-tracking funds and cut off future passive inflows. The consultation may or may not result in changes, but the deadline for feedback is September 30. That gives market participants a little over a month to weigh in. H2: "The cost of being a Bitcoin treasury" Paragraph: The market is already reacting. MSTR was trading nearly 3% lower Friday at nearly $95 per share, and the stock is down nearly 40% year-to-date. The proposal adds another layer of uncertainty for a company whose entire strategy is built around Bitcoin. Even if the rule doesn't go through, the consultation itself is a reminder that index providers are starting to ask whether companies like Strategy belong in their benchmarks. That's about 400 words. We can add a bit more. We can also mention that the consultation is about defining 'Non-Operating Companies' and making them ineligible. We already did. We can also mention that the rule would also affect Yellow Cake, but we did. We can also mention that the forced selling would be by index-tracking funds. We did.
