Metaplanet Announces 10-for-1 Stock Split After Massive Bitcoin-Fueled Rally

Tokyo-based Metaplanet has revealed plans for a 10-to-1 stock split, set to take effect on April 1, following an extraordinary 3,900% surge in its share price over the past year.

The company, which began accumulating Bitcoin in April 2024, now holds 2,031 BTC—currently worth nearly $200 million. This strategic move has positioned Metaplanet as Japan’s top-performing stock over the last 12 months.

In a statement, the firm cited the high share price as a growing barrier for investors.

“To ease financial constraints, increase market liquidity, and attract a wider range of shareholders, we are implementing this stock split,” the company announced.

With Bitcoin remaining at the core of its financial strategy, Metaplanet aims to maintain its momentum while making its stock more accessible to investors.
