Analysis: MSCI's "hidden clauses" may cut off incremental capital inflows into Strategy.

2026/01/08 12:22

PANews reported on January 8th that, according to CryptoSlate, MSCI, a global provider of stock and ETF market benchmarks, has announced that it will not remove Bitcoin treasury company Strategy for the time being. However, a hidden clause stating "MSCI will not implement any increases to the Number of Shares (NOS)" has attracted community attention. This clause means that shares newly issued by Strategy through ATMs will not be included in the MSCI index weighting and will not trigger passive fund purchases. In other words, MSCI acknowledges the existence of cryptocurrency reserve stocks but refuses to continue providing passive funds to support ATM issuances. Even if Strategy issues more shares, passive funds will not follow suit, cutting off incremental funds and breaking Strategy's "infinite funding cycle" of relying on issuing new shares to raise funds to purchase Bitcoin and then having ETFs force purchases to support the stock price. It is understood that in addition to Strategy, potentially affected Bitcoin treasury companies include Metaplanet and Capital B.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
