Shares of billionaire Michael Saylor’s Strategy soared Wednesday after MSCI hit pause on their exclusion plans for DATCOs (Digital Asset Treasury Companies). Turns out, even financial giants can’t resist a last-minute cliffhanger. 🚀
- MSCI shelved its plan to boot DATCOs from indexes, sparing crypto-linked stocks from a near-death experience. Phew! 💸
- DATCOs-aka companies hoarding Bitcoin like squirrels in a digital forest-exploded in popularity in 2025. Investors got their crypto fix without actually owning tokens… mostly. 😂
- Strategy led the charge with a 3.2% spike, only to trip over Bitcoin’s price drop later. Proof that crypto stocks are more sensitive than your ex’s feelings. 💔
The company, formerly MicroStrategy, defines a DATCO as a firm with 50%+ of assets tied up in crypto. Sounds less like a business and more like a “Buy Bitcoin and Pray” lottery ticket. 🎰
The DATCO trend took off in 2025 as companies treated crypto like a new office plant-everyone had to have one, even if they didn’t know how to care for it. 🌱
Volatility? Check. Accounting chaos? Double-check. Analysts are still debating if DATCOs are just glorified piggy banks or actual businesses. Either way, the stock market loves a good mystery. 🔍
According to Owen Lau of Clear Street, MSCI’s decision doesn’t solve long-term eligibility drama but buys DATCOs some breathing room. Expect them to stay in indexes via the “grandfather clause” loophole. 🤑
MSCI initially wanted to purge DATCOs from benchmarks, claiming they’re too fund-like. Meanwhile, DATCOs argued, “We’re not just holding crypto-we’re building products!” (Spoiler: no one really knows what those products are.) 🤷♀️
Strategy pioneered the DATCO trend in 2020 by buying Bitcoin en masse. Shares jumped 3.2% before Bitcoin’s price plunge reminded everyone: crypto stocks are mood rings for crypto prices. 🌀
The stock is now up 4.5% year-to-date. Because nothing says “confidence” like riding the coattails of a volatile asset. 🚀
