Metaplanet Gains MSCI Japan Index Inclusion, Raises $26M to Expand Bitcoin Holdings

Metaplanet Secures $26M in Bond Sale, Gains Entry to MSCI Japan Index

Metaplanet (3350), a Japanese firm actively acquiring Bitcoin (BTC), is set to join the MSCI Japan Index on February 28, according to CEO Simon Gerovich.

The MSCI Japan Index tracks prominent mid-to-large-cap stocks, making it a key benchmark for institutional investors worldwide. Inclusion in the index is expected to bring greater visibility, passive fund inflows, and broader investor interest in Metaplanet.

Gerovich took to X to highlight the significance of the listing, calling it a major step in positioning Metaplanet as Asia’s leading Bitcoin treasury company.

Alongside this development, Metaplanet announced the successful completion of a $26 million (4 billion yen) raise through 0% unsecured, unguaranteed ordinary bonds, with the proceeds earmarked for additional Bitcoin purchases as part of its long-term accumulation strategy.
