Metaplanet's Bitcoin-Focused Restructuring Plan Boosts Stock 2.5%

Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based firm, has approved key restructuring measures to support its growth plans, including increasing authorized shares, virtual shareholder meetings, and introducing Class A and Class B shares. The company plans to raise $3.7 billion to buy 210,000 BTC by 2027 and has already acquired 20,000 BTC, making it the sixth-largest public treasury holder worldwide. Metaplanet's stock has jumped 2.5% after the announcement.

Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-based technology and cryptocurrency company, has approved significant restructuring measures to support its growth plans. At an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on September 1, shareholders approved three key proposals, including an increase in authorized shares, virtual-only shareholder meetings, and the introduction of Class A and Class B shares. These measures aim to enhance the company's flexibility and governance, positioning it for future growth opportunities.

The first proposal approved at the meeting was an increase in the company’s authorized shares, raising the total to 2,723,000,000. This move provides Metaplanet with greater flexibility to raise capital and support strategic investments, particularly in Bitcoin. CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that the increase in shares aligns with the company’s growth strategy and strengthens its ability to pursue new opportunities in the digital finance sector [1].

Metaplanet also passed a resolution to allow virtual-only shareholder meetings, adding Article 14-2 to its Articles of Incorporation. This provision ensures broader participation and improved accessibility, especially for international shareholders who may not be able to attend in person [1].

The third proposal approved the creation of Class A and Class B shares. These authorized class shares allow Metaplanet to structure voting rights and dividend distributions more efficiently. This move is common among growing companies to balance control among founders, early investors, and public shareholders [1].

In addition to these corporate updates, Metaplanet continues to expand its Bitcoin holdings. On September 1, the company purchased an additional 1,009 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 20,000 BTC. The company aims to acquire 210,000 BTC by 2027, positioning it as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders worldwide. This aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has drawn significant attention and support from investors, with Metaplanet's stock jumping 2.5% after the announcement [2].

Metaplanet’s dual approach of corporate restructuring and cryptocurrency expansion signals a clear growth path. The increase in authorized shares, introduction of class shares, and virtual meetings make the company more agile. At the same time, its Bitcoin strategy continues to drive strong financial results. CEO Simon Gerovich concluded that these measures support shareholder value and position Metaplanet as a key player in the blockchain space [1].
