On December 10, 2025, Strategy reiterated its opposition to MSCI’s plan to exclude companies whose balance sheets hold more than 50% crypto from its Global Investable Market Indexes. The firm said the threshold is discriminatory, misrepresents its Bitcoin-focused treasury operations, and could trigger destabilizing index volatility and forced liquidations. Strategy also said it added over $1 billion in Bitcoin across November and December 2025, bringing its holdings to 660,624 BTC acquired for about $49.35 billion at an average cost of $74,696 per coin.

Bitcoin’s market structure has shifted in recent weeks as selling pressure eased and deposits to centralized exchanges fell ahead of a Federal Reserve policy decision. After briefly dipping to $80,000 on November 21, Bitcoin climbed to a one-month high of $94,000 alongside a 76% slide in BTC inflows to exchanges and lighter activity from large holders, according to CryptoQuant. If subdued selling persists, resistance levels near $99,000, $102,000 and $112,000 could come into focus.

On December 9, 2025, Strive, Inc., co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, filed to sell up to $500 million of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock to build its Bitcoin reserves and fund broader corporate needs.

On 10 December 2025, U.S. asset manager Strive said it plans to raise $500 million through a stock offering to expand its Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy.

Strive also weighed into debates over index construction, urging that companies with large crypto balance sheets not be excluded from major indices, according to the firm.

On December 10, Strategy Inc., described as the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury company, sent MSCI a formal response opposing its plan to remove Digital Asset Treasury Companies with crypto holdings of 50% or more of total assets from the Global Investable Market Indexes. The firm argues DATs are operating businesses rather than investment funds, the company said in its letter. It warns the 50% threshold is arbitrary and could destabilize the indexes. Strategy urges MSCI to scrap the proposal or extend the consultation for a more thorough review.
