Why Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Bonanza is the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread! 🍞🚀

What to know:

  • Metaplanet is set to join the illustrious MSCI Japan Index as of the grand finale on Feb. 28. 🎉
  • In a move that can only be described as “bold,” Metaplanet has raised a staggering $26 million for a whopping 0% in unsecured, unguaranteed ordinary bonds to buy even more of that shiny Bitcoin. 💰

In a twist that could only be described as cosmic, Metaplanet (3350), a Japanese Bitcoin (BTC) acquirer, is about to make its grand entrance into the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Japan index. This momentous occasion is scheduled for the end of Feb. 28, as confirmed by the firm’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, who is probably wearing a tinfoil hat while he types. 🛸

The MSCI index, which tracks mid-to-large-cap Japanese stocks, serves as a key benchmark for institutional investors worldwide. Think of it as the VIP lounge of the financial universe, where only the coolest stocks get to hang out. As a result of this inclusion, Metaplanet will bask in the glow of increased exposure to global investment funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track MSCI indices. 🌍✨

Gerovich, in a moment of uncharacteristic optimism on X, highlighted the positive news that comes from this inclusion, which includes increased visibility, passive inflows, and validation of growth. “This milestone further solidifies Metaplanet’s position as Asia’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Company and expands our reach in global markets,” he says, probably while sipping a piña colada on a beach somewhere. 🍹

In addition, Metaplanet has confirmed they’ve completed a raise for $26 million (or 4 billion yen, if you prefer your numbers in a more exotic currency) for 0% of unsecured, unguaranteed ordinary bonds to purchase additional Bitcoin. Because why not? After all, who doesn’t want more Bitcoin? 🤷‍♂️
