Can a PAYG subscription be linked to a different tenant's MCA for billing?

Question

There are two separate tenants involved: 1. non-pci (NPCI) and 2. pci-compliant (PCI). The NPCI tenant has a billing scope with accounts under a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA), while the PCI tenant is a new standalone tenant with no MCA or other billing agreements.

The goal is to ascertain if a PAYG subscription from the PCI tenant can be linked & changed to the NPCI MCA for billing and invoicing management, while still keeping the subscription within the PCI tenant.

I'm finding somewhat conflicting information, but can this be done?
