Well, slap my wallet and call me broke! Nasdaq-listed Strive, the 14th-largest publicly-listed Bitcoin treasury firm (yes, they’re practically swimming in digital gold coins 🏊♂️💰), is throwing a hissy fit at MSCI. Why? Because MSCI’s got this wild idea to blacklist companies with more than 50% of their assets in Bitcoin. Strive’s like, “Hold up, Henry Fernandez (MSCI’s big cheese 🧑💼), you’re about to cut off passive investors from the growth party! 🎉”
Apparently, losing a spot in MSCI’s indexes is like getting uninvited to the coolest club in town. JPMorgan’s analysts (the folks who predict doom with a straight face 😱) say Strategy, a Bitcoin treasury firm, could lose a cool $2.8 billion if MSCI goes full Grinch. Michael Saylor, Strategy’s chair, is already on the phone with MSCI, probably saying, “Hey, you’re making a yuge mistake!” 📞
Bitcoin Miners: The Unsung Heroes of AI? 🤖⛏️
Strive’s CEO, Matt Cole, is here to drop some knowledge bombs. He’s like, “Hey MSCI, did you know Bitcoin miners like MARA Holdings, Riot Platforms, and Hut 8 are basically the Avengers of AI? 🦸♂️ They’re turning their data centers into AI powerhouses! And you want to exclude them? That’s like banning pizza from Italy! 🍕”
Cole adds, “AI’s all about power, not just semiconductors. Bitcoin miners are sitting on a goldmine of energy, and you’re saying, ‘Nah, we’re good.’ MSCI, you’re missing the boat-and it’s a spaceship to the future! 🚀”
“Even if AI starts printing money, these companies will still have their Bitcoin. Excluding them is like saying, ‘We don’t want our clients to be rich.’ 🤷♂️”
Bitcoin Structured Finance: It’s a Thing, MSCI! 📈💼
Cole’s not done. He’s like, “Companies like Strategy and Metaplanet are basically the Bitcoin wizards of Wall Street. 🧙♂️ They’re offering structured notes linked to Bitcoin’s returns, just like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. But hey, MSCI, you want to treat us like the red-headed stepchildren of finance? Rude. 😤”
“We’re competing with the big boys, but with one hand tied behind our backs because of this Bitcoin blacklist. It’s like running a marathon in flip-flops! 🏃♂️👡”
50% Bitcoin Threshold? More Like 50 Shades of Ridiculous! 😂
Cole calls MSCI’s proposal “unworkable.” He’s like, “Tying index inclusion to a volatile asset? That’s like trying to herd cats. 🐱 Companies will be flickering in and out of the index faster than a disco ball. 🎉 Plus, how do you even measure 50% when companies are using derivatives and ETFs? It’s a mess!”
He points to Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., saying, “They’ve got the 10th-largest Bitcoin treasury, but they’re not on your blacklist because they’re using derivatives. MSCI, you’re playing favorites, and it’s not cute. 😒”
Strive’s solution? Create an “ex-digital asset treasury” version of the indexes. Cole’s like, “Let the asset owners decide if they want to avoid Bitcoin companies. Don’t force everyone into your Bitcoin-free bubble. 🫧”
So, MSCI, will you listen to Strive and embrace the Bitcoin revolution, or will you be the villain in this financial comedy? 🎭 The world is watching-and laughing. 😂
