- MSCI is set to rule on Jan. 15 on a proposal to exclude companies with more than 50% of assets in digital assets, a move JPMorgan estimates could trigger about $2.8 billion in forced selling and as much as $8.8 billion if other index providers follow.
- Since pledging in July not to sell stock below 2.5x mNAV, the company issued $4.9 billion of equity, including $4 billion at mNAV below 1.0x, and its mNAV has fallen below 1.
