Michael Saylor Responds to MSCI Potential Strategy Removal Risk: Index Classification Does Not Define Us

BlockBeats News, November 21st, Michael Saylor responded to the risk of global financial index provider MSCI potentially excluding Strategy (MSTR) from its stock index: Strategy is not a fund, not a trust, nor a holding company, but a publicly traded operating company with a $5 billion software business, while executing a unique treasury strategy—using Bitcoin as productive capital. Just this year, it has completed five public offerings of digital securities—STRK, STRF, STRD, STRC, and STRE—with a total nominal value exceeding $7.7 billion. It also launched Stretch (STRC), a revolutionary Bitcoin-backed treasury credit facility that offers variable monthly dollar yields to institutional and retail investors, whereas funds and trusts merely passively hold assets.

Strategy is the creator, structurer, issuer, and operator. The team is building a new form of enterprise—an institutionally structured financial entity backed by Bitcoin, able to continuously innovate in both the capital markets and software realms. No passive investment vehicle or holding company can do what we are doing. Index classification cannot define us. Strategy's approach is long-term, unwavering in its belief in Bitcoin, and its mission remains unchanged: to build the world's first digital currency institution on the foundation of sound money and financial innovation.
