Bitwise supports Strategy: MSCI rule changes are depriving investors of digital asset investment opportunities.

Digital asset management firm Bitwise published a statement on its X platform in support of Strategy, expressing deep disappointment with MSCI's proposed removal of Strategy from its global investable market indices. Bitwise stated that indices aim to faithfully reflect the market, not to assess the merits of specific business models, and should remain neutral. Bitwise believes that exchange-traded products cannot replicate Strategy's operating model, and that Strategy creates value for shareholders. The proposed rule change by MSCI deprives investors of investment opportunities in the digital asset class and its industry leaders, thus disadvantaging them.
