MSTR stock price is in focus as Strategy faces a possible removal from MSCI indexes. Concerns about forced selling have added pressure to the stock, with estimates suggesting that index funds could sell nearly $2.8 billion worth of shares.
However, this estimate may no longer reflect the current market value of Strategy. The original figure came from a November 2025 report, when the stock was trading at nearly twice its current level. With MSTR down almost 50% since then, the potential selling pressure could be closer to $1.4 billion.
Will MSCI Removal Impact MSTR Stock Price?
Strategy’s possible removal from MSCI indexes is largely expected, making the upcoming decision less surprising than recent headlines suggest.
MSCI indexes are also smaller than major benchmarks such as the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500. This limits the potential impact compared with removal from a larger index.
The widely reported $2.8 billion selling estimate also needs to be viewed against Strategy’s current share price rather than its valuation in November 2025.
Bitcoin Price Remains Key to MSTR Stock
Bitcoin continues to be the biggest factor influencing MSTR stock price. With Bitcoin trading around $74,000, its weak performance has also weighed on Strategy shares.
Company announcements and quarterly earnings have generally had less influence on MSTR’s price than Bitcoin’s movements. A sustained recovery in Bitcoin could therefore provide stronger support for Strategy stock than the MSCI decision alone.
Strategy’s STRC Price Reaches $99.99
Meanwhile, Strategy’s STRC preferred stock reached $99.99 despite rising US Treasury yields and concerns about inflation.
Higher interest rates generally put pressure on fixed-income investments. However, STRC has remained strong. One possible reason is that borrowing demand from AI companies is influencing Treasury yields, while STRC has a different funding purpose linked to Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy.
The next key level to watch for STRC is $100.
