According to an announcement released on Metaplanet Inc.'s official X account, Japanese listed Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet (Tokyo Stock Exchange code: 3350) announced the purchase of an additional 2,823 BTC, bringing the total cumulative Bitcoin holdings to 43,000 BTC.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the company has postponed its planned listings of the Mars and Mercury preferred shares due to the immaturity of Japan’s preferred stock market and restrictions imposed by exchange rules. He explained that Japanese exchanges require preferred share dividends to be supported by sustainable, recurring cash flows, while Metaplanet still needs to demonstrate that its Bitcoin revenue business can generate stable returns across varying market conditions. Additionally, the company plans to distribute dividends monthly, whereas the Japanese market typically follows annual or semi-annual dividend schedules, and the related infrastructure remains under development. Metaplanet currently holds 40,177 BTC, and its stock price has declined 25% year-to-date.
