Metaplanet Inc., Japan’s first publicly traded company focused on Bitcoin, has begun trading its shares on the U.S. OTCQX Market. The company recently adopted Bitcoin Treasury strategy now will trade under the ticker symbol “MTPLF.”

Why the U.S. Market?

At the general meeting of Shareholders on December 13, 2024, Shareholders approved an increase in the shares to 145,000,000, which pave the way for continued Bitcoin accumulation.

Simon Gerovich, the President of Metaplanet, expressed about the move, highlighting how it provides U.S. investors with easier access to the company.

Companies on this market must follow strict financial rules and good business practices, making sure Metaplanet’s shares are reliable and safe for U.S. investors.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

Metaplanet’s main strategy is to buy and hold Bitcoin as its key asset. The goal is to grow the value of its Bitcoin over the years which is also creating long-term benefits for its shareholders.

By using Japan’s low borrowing costs and stable interest rates, the company plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings.

Along with buying more Bitcoin, Metaplanet is finding new ways to make money. For example, the company is selling put options, which helps them earn profits while they continue to build their Bitcoin holdings.

This strategy helps Metaplanet handle changes in the value of currencies, especially when the Japanese yen is getting weaker against the U.S dollars.

Metaplanet’s business also extends to its exclusive license for Bitcoin Magazine Japan, which enables the company to generate revenue through marketing, educational initiatives, and expanding the Bitcoin ecosystem in Japan.

After the announcement, the company’s stock surged by over 7% on the Japanese exchange, reaching ¥3,770. According to Google Finance data, stock growth of more than 2,200%.
