#bitcoin #MSCI decide to keep companies with crypto treasuries in its indices!
In a positive turn for the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem, global index provider MSCI has announced it will not proceed with excluding companies that hold significant reserves in Bitcoin or other digital assets in their treasuries, even if these represent more than 50% of their total assets.
