Market Background

Michael Saylor posted a Bitcoin price chart on social media on January 5, with the caption “Orange or Green?”. The chart only marked the orange point, which was interpreted by the market as a signal emphasizing a long-term holding stance.

Current Market Conditions

Recently, Bitcoin prices have shown a correction trend. According to major global data, Bitcoin has fluctuated between $80,000 and $90,000 after the New Year, continuing a high-volatility market. As of early January 5, Bitcoin price hovered around $91,000.

Under this price trend, the stock price of Strategy Inc. (MSTR), affiliated with Saylor, has experienced a significant decline compared to the beginning of the year. MSTR’s stock price has fallen over 60% from its mid-2025 high, with a decline exceeding Bitcoin’s own volatility. Analysts believe this reflects the characteristics of the company’s Bitcoin holdings strategy combined with external risk factors.

Impact of MSCI Index Decision

Global index providers like MSCI are reviewing the removal of companies with over 50% digital asset exposure from major indices, with a final decision scheduled to be announced on January 15, 2026.

This is not just an index component adjustment but a decision with substantial impact. Once MSCI sets the standard, passive funds tracking major indices such as Nasdaq 100, MSCI USA, and MSCI World will be forced to reduce or liquidate holdings in related companies. Wall Street analysts point out that if MSTR is removed from the MSCI index, it could trigger billions of dollars in passive fund outflows.

Institutional Warnings

Institutions like JPMorgan have warned that MSCI’s decision could materially affect MSTR’s liquidity, financing ability, and stock price volatility. If MSTR is removed from the MSCI index, automatic sell-off mechanisms in passive funds and ETFs will intensify short-term downward pressure on the stock price.
