MSCI Exit Puts Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Under Renewed Pressure

Strategy faces a reported $6.85 billion Bitcoin loss as MSCI prepares to remove the company from major equity benchmarks.

Strategy faces a reported $6.85 billion Bitcoin loss as MSCI prepares to remove the company from major equity benchmarks. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $64,902.00, up 0.9% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by Crypto Adventure, with live market data added, as of Sun, 15 Nov 2026 19:30:04 UTC.

Why it matters

The combination of a falling BTC price, an unrealized loss on Strategy’s holdings and benchmark removal could affect both the company’s financial position and the investor bases tracking its shares.

Key takeaways
  • Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings were reportedly worth $6.85 billion less than cost.
  • MSCI will remove Strategy from major equity benchmarks at the end of November.
  • Strategy holds 850,364 BTC purchased at an average of $75,456.
  • Bitcoin trades at $64,322, down 4.27% over 24 hours and 14.84% over seven days.

Crypto Adventure reports that Strategy’s Bitcoin position was approximately $6.85 billion underwater early Saturday as BTC moved toward $67,400. The company’s reported $64.2 billion investment placed it under significant pressure as the broader cryptocurrency market moved lower. The company holds 850,364 BTC acquired for an average of $75,456 per coin, according to the report. Crypto Adventure also said MSCI had confirmed plans to remove Strategy from its major equity benchmarks at the end of November, adding an index-related development to the reported losses on its Bitcoin holdings. This is single-source coverage, so the loss estimate, holdings figures and MSCI timeline are attributable to Crypto Adventure and are not independently corroborated by another outlet in the supplied coverage. The reported $6.85 billion loss was measured when Bitcoin was approaching $67,400, while the live market price provided with this brief stands below that reference level.

The wider data context is negative: Bitcoin is trading at $64,322, down 4.27% over 24 hours and 14.84% over seven days, while the total crypto market capitalization is $2.25 trillion and the broader market is broadly down. The Fear & Greed Index is at 10, labeled Extreme Fear. What to watch is whether BTC can recover from its current decline and whether the planned MSCI benchmark removal proceeds at the end of November.
