- 00:55Michael Saylor: Will continue accumulating Bitcoin until market complaints stopChainCatcher news, Michael Saylor forwarded news that the bitcoin crypto treasury (DAT) company Strategy will continue to remain in the Nasdaq 100 index and stated: "We will continue to accumulate bitcoin until the market stops complaining." Previous reports indicated that Strategy will continue to stay in the Nasdaq 100 index, maintaining its status as a constituent stock. Some market observers believe that Strategy's pioneering business model, centered on "buying and holding bitcoin for the long term," is closer to that of an investment fund rather than a traditional operating company. Meanwhile, concerns about the sustainability of crypto treasury (DAT) companies are mounting in the market. Global index provider MSCI has also expressed concerns about including crypto treasury companies in its index system. MSCI is expected to decide in mid-January next year whether to remove Strategy and similar companies from its indices.
