* Strategy retains its Nasdaq 100 position amid significant Bitcoin purchase.
* Expects potential index exclusion impact next year.
* Possible $2.8 billion stock sell-off could occur.
Strategy has retained its place in the Nasdaq 100 despite concerns over its heavy cryptocurrency holdings, purchasing 10,624 BTC for $962.70 million, reported Cointelegraph.
MSCI’s potential exclusion of crypto-heavy companies could force $2.80 billion in Strategy stock sales, signaling significant impacts on cryptocurrency markets and passive index funds.
## Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings: A Double-Edged Sword
**Strategy secured its Nasdaq 100 membership** during the recent annual reshuffle. Michael Saylor and Phong Le are leading this effort, transforming Strategy into a major Bitcoin holder. The company recently increased its Bitcoin holdings by 10,624 BTC.
**Market perceptions are mixed** , with Strategy’s stock price declining about 3.74% in one day and over 15% in the past month. MSCI may exclude firms with over 50% of assets in crypto next year, potentially impacting Strategy.
> “We believe our strategy encompasses more than just holding assets; it reflects our commitment to leveraging it for strategic growth and innovation,” said strategy executives in a statement.
