Metaplanet Revolutionizes Capital Structure to Attract Global Institutions
Metaplanet Inc., Asia’s leading corporate Bitcoin holder, has officially received shareholder approval for a landmark restructuring of its capital framework. This strategic pivot moves the company beyond simple equity dilution, introducing dividend-paying preferred shares designed specifically for institutional and international investors.
Key Highlights of the "Mercury" Program:
Dual-Class Preferred Shares: The company will issue Class A and Class B preferred shares, doubling its authorized issuance capacity to 555 million shares each.
Innovative Dividend Yields: Class A shares will feature a monthly floating-rate dividend—the Metaplanet Adjustable Rate Security—while Class B shares offer fixed quarterly payouts of 4.9%.
Institutional Alignment: The restructuring allows for third-party allotments to overseas institutions, integrating income-producing securities with a Bitcoin-backed balance sheet.
With over 30,800 BTC (valued at approximately $2.75 billion) now in its treasury, Metaplanet is positioning itself as the "MicroStrategy of Asia," transforming Japan's fixed-income market into a high-octane Bitcoin accumulation engine.
