CEO Simon Gerovich told Forbes Japan that the company is developing a “Japan-native model” for Bitcoin adoption, which is compatible with local regulations and tax regimes.
Metaplanet Stock Surges
Investors have greeted Metaplanet’s Bitcoin emphasis warmly. Its share price is up 517% year to year and has risen 246% in 2025 alone, trading at $8.36.
“In one year, we were the nation’s best-performing stock,” Gerovich said, pointing to record turnover and a ¥1 trillion market cap.
Conclusion
Metaplanet’s newest acquisition further solidifies its status as a crypto-forward company, not only in Strategy’s footsteps but forging its own path well-suited to Japan. With well over $2 billion in Bitcoin, its presence on the corporate crypto scene continues to grow.
