According to Odaily, MSCI has released the results of its market consultation regarding Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs), deciding not to implement the proposal to exclude DATCOs from the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes in the February 2026 index adjustment. According to the statement, the current index inclusion and handling methods for the relevant companies will remain unchanged, and DATCOs that have already been included in the index may continue to be retained.
