Metaplanet Enters CoinShares Global Equity Index Marking First
  • Metaplanet Inc. is now part of the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index.
  • CEO Simon Gerovich highlights the firm’s commitment to strengthening its international profile.
Metaplanet Inc., a publicly listed investment firm from Japan, has joined the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index (BLOCK Index). This marks Metaplanet’s first listing in a globally recognized equity index. The BLOCK Index, managed by CoinShares, tracks significant publicly traded companies driving blockchain and cryptocurrency innovation. With its inclusion, Metaplanet strengthens its influence within the blockchain sector, particularly in Asia.
Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, expressed excitement about this achievement. “We are thrilled to announce our inclusion in the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index,” he stated on X. This listing enhances the company’s reputation and attracts international investors to its growing crypto market presence.

Furthermore, Metaplanet emphasizes its commitment to shareholder value through disciplined Bitcoin accumulation. This strategy positions the firm as a leader among Japan’s digital asset firms.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Strategy

Recently, Metaplanet disclosed its Bitcoin holdings, stating that it accumulated over 1,100 BTC, valued at approximately $69 million. The company’s aggressive acquisition strategy mirrors that of MicroStrategy, known for its substantial Bitcoin treasury.

In September, Metaplanet purchased 156 BTC for about $10 million. This significant move further solidifies its position in the crypto landscape. Additionally, the company has introduced a “BTC Yield” metric, similar to MicroStrategy’s, to highlight Bitcoin’s impact on shareholder value. 

Moreover, Metaplanet has partnered with Hoseki, a leader in Bitcoin verification solutions. This collaboration enables users to verify the company’s Bitcoin holdings, promoting transparency and trust. “As Bitcoin adoption proliferates globally, transparency is crucial,” the company stated.
In April, Metaplanet decided to incorporate Bitcoin into its treasury assets. This decision arises from concerns about the Japanese yen’s vulnerability due to a low-interest-rate environment. The company views Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a tool for macroeconomic resilience.
