The post MSTR stock to $150? Strategy talks MSCI, DAT exclusion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MSTR stock price retreated by over 1.30% today, Dec. 10, as the company posted its response to MSCI on the proposal to exclude Digital Asset Treasury companies on indices.  Summary MSTR stock dropped slightly after Strategy responded to MSCI. MSCI is reviewing whether to delist digital asset treasury companies. Strategy argues that such a move will be discriminatory. Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, dropped to $185, a few points below this week’s high of $197.  In a statement, the company explained why MSCI should not exclude it and other similar companies from its indices. It argued that Strategy was an operating company and not an investment fund. Its main difference with other firms is that it has decided to use Bitcoin (BTC) to generate returns to its shareholders. Strategy also argued that the digital-asset-specific 50% threshold that MSCI has proposed was arbitrary, discriminatory, and unworkable. It pointed to companies in other industries that have concentrated holdings in a single asset type. For example, some companies have accumulated large assets like land and gold that will be spared by MSCI’s rules.  Additionally, Strategy argued that the proposal will inject policy considerations into indexing and stifle innovation in the United States and other countries.  The statement came after MSCI said that it was reviewing whether to exclude DAT companies from its indices. It argues that these companies resemble investment funds rather than operating firms. JPMorgan, the biggest US bank, has supported the move.  A move to remove Strategy from MSCI’s indices would have a major impact on the stock. For one, it would force most funds that hold the stock to sell it, leading to more pressure at a time when it is stuck in a bear market.  Some of the top funds that hold the MSCI stock are the Vanguard Total… The post MSTR stock to $150?
