Metaplanet Responds to JPX Regulatory Consultation, Affirms Bitcoin Strategy and Ecosystem Plans

According to Huoxing Finance, Simon Gerovich, CEO of Japanese Bitcoin treasury-listed company Metaplanet, responded on X to the Japan Exchange Group's (JPX) announcement delaying the inclusion of companies whose primary assets are cryptocurrencies into its indices. He stated that he respects the relevant procedures and will actively engage, emphasizing that this will not impact the company’s progress in advancing its Bitcoin strategy and ecosystem development. He added that Metaplanet was founded with the初衷 to provide Japanese investors with a compliant channel to access Bitcoin through Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed companies, but the company’s strategy extends beyond asset allocation. Metaplanet will drive the growth of Japan’s Bitcoin ecosystem through “Project Nova,” including operational initiatives and investments in industry partners. To date, over 216,000 Japanese shareholders have participated in this strategy, and Metaplanet will continue constructive dialogue with JPX and other stakeholders to enhance market awareness of Bitcoin and the company’s role within Japan’s financial system.
