MSCI adopted its non-operating company rule on October 15, and the companion spreadsheet of potentially impacted securities lists Strategy with a potential action of "Deleted" — roughly $40.3B of the $44.4B of float-adjusted market cap on that entire list. The affected names publish November 11 and the change takes effect at the close on November 30, leaving 19 days between the list and any forced selling. MSTR dropped 9.56% in a single session after the decision. Tonight, Joey and Len walk through the 4-of-5 ratio test, whether Strategy actually trips it, and what index removal does and does not do to the Bitcoin sitting behind the stock. MSCI's announcement names no company, and Strategy says MSCI-linked funds hold only 3.1% of its basic shares.

Ledger has confirmed an unauthorized hardware implant in an affected device sold through CryptoBilis, a reseller listed by Ledger. How can a hardware wallet pass a Genuine Check while a physical implant spies on its setup? Tonight, Joey and Len examine the reported supply-chain attack, the limits of device verification, and what this does to trust in self-custody. Loss totals remain third-party estimates; the confirmed implant does not establish that every Ledger device is compromised.
