Fact Check
The evidence overwhelmingly and consistently supports the statement that MicroStrategy is a constituent of the Nasdaq-100 index. The most authoritative sources, the official Nasdaq website's index page and stock screener, are described as providing a direct list of constituents that would verify this. This primary evidence is strongly corroborated by numerous high-authority secondary sources, including Reuters, Yahoo Finance, and Google Finance. Several of these sources confirm MicroStrategy's current membership by reporting on its inclusion or, in a more nuanced way, by discussing analysts' concerns about its potential *future* removal from the index—a discussion that presupposes its current membership. For example, reports from Reuters and GuruFocus confirm the company's status by analyzing the risks of a future delisting. Furthermore, the holdings of the QQQ ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq-100, provide another reliable confirmation. There is no conflicting evidence among the relevant sources; the only source that does not support the statement is correctly identified as irrelevant because it pertains to the Nasdaq Composite index, which is different from the Nasdaq-100.
