Metaplanet Secures MSCI Japan Index Spot, Raises $26M for Bitcoin Expansion
Metaplanet (3350), a Japan-based Bitcoin-focused investment firm, will be added to the MSCI Japan Index on February 28, CEO Simon Gerovich announced.
The MSCI Japan Index tracks mid-to-large-cap Japanese stocks and is widely followed by institutional investors. Metaplanet’s inclusion is expected to drive increased investor attention, passive fund inflows, and broader market validation.
Gerovich highlighted the importance of the milestone on X, stating that it strengthens Metaplanet’s position as Asia’s premier Bitcoin treasury firm and enhances its global market presence.
In tandem with the index inclusion, Metaplanet also confirmed a $26 million (4 billion yen) fundraising through 0% unsecured, unguaranteed bonds, with the proceeds dedicated to expanding its Bitcoin holdings.
