Metaplanet Inc. (Tokyo: 3350), a well-known Japanese company recognized for its strong Bitcoin strategy, is making a bold entrance into the United States market. The company announced today that its shares will begin trading on OTCQX, a top-tier marketplace for over-the-counter stocks, on Thursday, December 19, 2024.
Known for its rapid stock surge and substantial Bitcoin reserves, Metaplanet has been compared to U.S. giant MicroStrategy. But can it replicate this success in the world’s largest financial market?
The company’s shares will trade under the ticker MTPLF on OTCQX, complementing its listing in Japan. CEO Simon Gerovich stated that this U.S. listing will enhance Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-focused strategy and drive long-term growth.
Metaplanet’s adoption of a Bitcoin treasury strategy earlier this year has been a game-changer. The company has accumulated over 1,142 BTC, paving the way for its first operating profit since 2017. This bold move has also fueled its stock performance, which has soared approximately 2,068% year-to-date to ¥3,685.
Adding Bitcoin operations as an official business line has made Metaplanet a magnet for investors. Its approach is being compared to U.S.-based MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), known for its heavy Bitcoin investments.
Last month, Metaplanet issued moving strike stock acquisition rights, raising ¥9.5 billion (around $62 million). These funds are being used to accelerate its Bitcoin purchases, further strengthening its position in the market.
Metaplanet’s continuous Bitcoin acquisitions have supported the cryptocurrency market across Asia. Bitcoin, often called “digital gold,” is gaining traction globally. More countries could follow suit if the next U.S. administration under Trump implements a strategic Bitcoin reserve policy.
The growing adoption of Bitcoin by institutions has driven its price above $100,000 for the first time. Metaplanet’s strategic moves are helping shape this rally.
The future truly does belong to the fearless!
Metaplanet holds over 1,142 BTCs, leveraging its Bitcoin treasury operations as a primary business strategy.
