BlockBeats News, June 7th, Aave's Chief Strategy Officer Luigi stated, "I believe many people have not realized that the strategy of selling Bitcoin is fundamentally a 'psychological warfare', aimed at meeting the requirements for inclusion in the index."

Earlier reports indicated that in January of this year, MSCI decided not to implement the proposal to exclude digital asset reserve companies from the MSCI index during the index review in February. Strategy's founder Michael Saylor previously stated in September 2025 that he is confident MSTR can be included in the S&P 500 index.
