- Metaplanet restructures capital to fund Bitcoin purchases, targeting institutional investors.
- Introducing monthly and quarterly dividends for Class A and Class B shares.
- Expansion into U.S. markets via American Depositary Receipts.
Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Metaplanet, approved reforms on Monday to raise institutional funds via dividend preference shares, enhancing its global market presence.
This restructuring strengthens Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury strategy and secures up to $150 million funding, promoting institutional interest and expanding its market reach, especially in the U.S.
Metaplanet’s Capital Reform Sparks Global Institutional Interest
Metaplanet has implemented a comprehensive capital reform, sanctioning preference shares to raise institutional funds. Reclassifying capital reserves and doubling authorized shares facilitates this move. Simon Gerovich, president, revealed the shift on social media.
Immediate outcomes include new share dividends targeting global investors. Class A shares will adopt flexible monthly payouts, while Class B ensures consistent quarterly dividends, improving appeal to international markets.
Market reactions have been positive, notably from Capital Group, now the largest shareholder at 11.39%. Metaplanet’s decision to trade on U.S. OTC markets also reflects heightened global interest.
Strategic Moves Boost Bitcoin Holdings Amidst Market Fluctuations
Did you know? Metaplanet follows the precedence of MicroStrategy and Strive, using preferred shares for Bitcoin treasuries, aiming for institutional growth while avoiding shareholder dilution.
According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin currently trades at $89,666.63, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.79 trillion, representing 59.16% market dominance. The 24-hour trading volume stands at $26.70 billion, showing an 86.67% increase. Recently, Bitcoin’s price experienced a 1.31% rise despite a 21% decline over the past 90 days.
Coincu research shows this capital restructuring represents a strategic intent to enhance Bitcoin treasury positions while institutional trust incrementally validates the cryptocurrency’s investment potential. Long-term goals include achieving 210,000 BTC, reflecting steady institutional momentum.
“Capital Group becoming the largest shareholder supports our Bitcoin treasury strategy and aligns long-term interests for Bitcoin accumulation.” – Simon Gerovich, President of Metaplanet
