SOURCE EVIDENCE

"JPMorgan analysts estimated during MSCI's previous consultation that Strategy could face about $2.8 billion of selling if it were removed from MSCI indexes. Selling common stock at elevated valuations allowed the company to raise capital and buy additional Bitcoin while limiting the dilution required for each dollar raised."
