Saylor responds to index exclusion controversy: Strategy cannot be defined by traditional finance

Abstract generation in progress

[Bitpush] Michael Saylor of Strategy recently responded to rumors about a possible MSCI index exclusion, and it’s quite interesting.

He emphasized that Strategy is not just a pure fund or a holding shell company—they actually have a $500 million software business that’s operating solidly. More importantly, they use Bitcoin as productive capital, which sets them apart in capital management.

Saylor’s stance is clear: don’t use traditional index classification frameworks to define us. Strategy’s long-term goal has never changed—to become the world’s first truly digital currency institution based on a sound monetary system and financial innovation.

Simply put, no matter how outsiders categorize them, their belief in Bitcoin and their strategic path remain very firm. This “not to be defined” attitude really fits the rebellious spirit of the crypto space.

This guy Saylor is just one person, and he has managed to turn MicroStrategy into a Bitcoin fund... Let MSCI criticize all they want, their confidence is right here.

Haha, Saylor is shifting the blame to traditional finance again—basically saying "you can't define me," huh? I like that attitude. But honestly, using a $500 million software business as a shield is just a way to dodge MSCI's index rules, isn't it? It's clever, but this argument does feel a bit vague and intangible. BTC as productive capital sounds sexy, but if Strategy really gets excluded, will they also be "undefined"? The key issue is whether they can actually make money—everything else is just talk. This move is basically a bet that MSCI will compromise, otherwise they'll make a fuss. Let's watch the show—will the index committee be intimidated by Saylor's rhetoric?

Ha, this guy Saylor just won't fall for that trap, MSCI would have a hard time kicking him out. The notion of productive capital sounds fresh, but can it really be calculated in Bitcoin? That would take some serious thinking. Not being defined is the best definition, anyway, that's how all bitcoiners are.

This guy Saylor really understands what it means to "not be defined"; I'm just afraid that the index institutions will label you... Speaking of which, if Strategy can really become the world's first stable Digital Money institution, that ambition is absolutely amazing.

Saylor just doesn't want to be defined, but the problem is that the index committees rely on this kind of taxonomy... No matter how productive the capital is, traditional finance still finds it awkward...

Haha, Saylor is throwing out bold statements again. I just love this "Don't define me" attitude—it's the true spirit of the crypto community. And come to think of it, a $500 million software business really shows they have their priorities straight; it's not just pure gambler mentality. Gotta give them credit for that. Just not sure how MSCI will handle it in the end—maybe it's all about luck.

I believe in Saylor's trap, but MSCI will probably still follow its own rules. That being said, the operation method of Strategy does break traditional classifications, and that is the key point.

This guy Saylor really goes against the grain; it's indeed rare to see someone treat BTC as productive capital. It's ridiculous to force Strategy into a traditional framework; it's fundamentally different, okay? By the way, the 500 million software business alone is worth a lot, no wonder he is so assertive.
