According to PANews, Strategy has expressed strong opposition to MSCI's proposal to exclude companies with digital assets exceeding 50% of total assets from global investable market indices. In a public letter to MSCI, Strategy emphasized that Digital Asset Technologies (DATs) like itself are operational companies, not investment funds, and possess business innovation capabilities and actual revenue sources. The proposal, Strategy argues, would improperly interfere with innovation and capital formation, weaken the United States' leadership in the digital asset sector, and affect billions of dollars in passive fund allocation. Strategy has recommended that MSCI extend the consultation period and avoid implementing discriminatory rules.

According to Odaily, Michael Saylor announced on the X platform that Strategy has submitted a response to MSCI regarding its consultation on digital asset financial companies. Saylor emphasized that index standards should remain neutral, consistent, and reflective of global market trends.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the second-largest teachers' union in the United States, has urged the U.S. Senate to reconsider a cryptocurrency bill, claiming that the bill puts the pensions of its 1.8 million members at risk while doing little to combat fraud and corruption in the digital asset space. In a letter dated December 8 to the Senate Banking Committee, AFT President Randi Weingarten called the Responsible Financial Innovation Act “irresponsible and reckless,” noting that it “poses profound risks to working families’ pensions and overall economic stability,” and that its enactment could “lay the groundwork for the next financial crisis.” The bill was co-sponsored by Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bernie Moreno. Previously, the AFL-CIO, the largest labor union in the U.S., and the Institute of Internal Auditors also expressed their opposition to the bill, pointing out its failure to protect consumers and ensure sound governance of cryptocurrency exchanges.
