The post MSCI Keeps DAT Companies in Global Indexes: MSTR Stock Up 5% appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

MSCI Inc., a global provider of stock market indexes, has made its decision on digital assets treasury (DATs) companies. The $18 trillion stock index will allow companies such as Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) to remain in MSCI-related global indexes.

MSCI Bends to Public Demand for Bitcoin and Crypto

According to the announcement. DAT companies MSCI will remain in MSCI Indexes for the Feb 2026 review. After a public consultation, MSCI made the decision to have crypto treasury companies included in its global indexes.

“This broader review is intended to ensure consistency and continued alignment with the overall objectives of the MSCI Indexes, which seek to measure the performance of operating companies and exclude entities whose primary activities are investment-oriented in nature,” MSCI noted.

Strategy Stock Rises on the News

Following the announcement, MSTR stock gained over 5% during the after-hours on Tuesday to trade at about $167.7 at press time. Strategy opposed the exclusion of DATs on MSCI global indexes due to the unfair treatment, which risked loss of over $2 billion if the ruling were otherwise.

Metaplanet Inc. (Tokyo: 3350) led other top DATs in bullish sentiment, with the company’s stock closing Tuesday up 8.9%.

What’s Next?

The decision by the MSCI to include DATs on its global indexes will have a profound impact on the crypto industry, particularly Bitcoin. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Bitcoin price was trapped in a choppy consolidation amid notable fears of MSTR’s exclusion from the MSCI. 

With the index expected to invest in DATs, led by Strategy, the demand for Bitcoin will scale further in the near term. As such, BTC price will follow the S&P 500 in hitting a new all-time high in 2026, potentially a parabolic move.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
