[Bitcoin Mining Company IREN to be Included in MSCI Index on February 27] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on February 13, according to Thestreet, Bitcoin mining company IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN) announced it will be included in the MSCI USA Index after the market closes on February 27. This marks another crypto-related company entering the index, following Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Previously, index provider MSCI had considered removing Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies—those with over 50% of their balance sheet allocated to cryptocurrencies—from major stock indices, but ultimately decided not to exclude such companies. Strategy had opposed this proposal in December 2025, calling it "discriminatory, arbitrary, and unfeasible." The MSCI USA Index tracks large- and mid-cap stocks in the U.S. equity market, representing approximately 85% of the free-float-adjusted market capitalization. Inclusion in the index can drive passive fund inflows and enhance the company's visibility among institutional investors.
