On Aug. 3, it returned with a wider proposal that could still remove Strategy and Metaplanet from its indexes. In a research paper titled Wall Street’s Invisible Committee, BPI pointed to metadata showing that the source presentation behind MSCI’s consultation was stored in an internal folder for digital asse...
