Michael Saylor Dismisses MSCI Delisting Risk: Index Classification Does Not Define Us

BlockBeats News, November 21st, Michael Saylor responded to the risk of global financial index provider MSCI potentially removing MicroStrategy (MSTR) from its stock indexes: MicroStrategy is not a fund, not a trust, and not a holding company, but a publicly-traded operating company with a $5 billion software business, executing a unique treasury strategy—treating Bitcoin as productive capital. It has completed five public offerings of digital corporate bonds this year alone—STRIKE, STRIFE, STRIDE, STRIDE, and STRE—with a total nominal value exceeding $7.7 billion. It has also launched Stretch (STRIDE), a revolutionary Bitcoin-backed treasury credit instrument, providing variable monthly dollar returns to institutional and retail investors, as funds and trusts passively hold assets.

MicroStrategy is the creator, structurer, issuer, and operator. The team is building a new corporate form—a Bitcoin-backed structured finance company capable of continuous innovation in both the capital markets and software domains. No passive investment vehicle or holding company can do what we are doing. Index classification cannot define us. MicroStrategy's strategy 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.
