Bitcoin Historian Claims MSCI Removed Strategy From Its Indexes

A video post by The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_) claimed Nov. 11 that MSCI had officially removed Strategy from its indexes and that the company would be forced out by Nov. 30.

The post described Strategy as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin (BTC) and said passive funds could sell billions of dollars after the index action. It also tied those possible sales to added pressure on Bitcoin sentiment.

The post’s headline portrayed the claimed removal as significant for Bitcoin markets. It linked three assertions: MSCI had made the decision, Strategy’s exit would come by Nov. 30, and passive funds could sell billions. The account presented potential fund sales as a possible consequence of Strategy’s index status and warned that they could add pressure to BTC sentiment.

The post framed the selling as a possibility, not as a completed event. Nov. 30 is the deadline it gave for Strategy’s forced exit.
