Japan-listed Metaplanet is at a critical juncture, with its stock currently hovering around 440 JPY as an online EGM approaches on December 22nd. The company put the word out to its shareholders via X on the 15th to vote on a bunch of proposals that are likely to determine the course of its Bitcoin strategy next year.
Metaplanet’s CEO Simon Gerovich has even gone so far as to describe this particular EGM as “a real turning point” for the company, with shareholder participation shaping the direction they’ll take on issues like capital allocation and snapping up more crypto.
Special incentives, such as Planet Gear perks and giveaways, are being offered to encourage timely voting.
The Proposals on the Agenda at the EGM
So at this meeting, they are going to be discussing a bunch of seriously important governance and strategic initiatives:
- Issuance of Class A (MARS) and Class B (MERCURY) preferred shares
- Reduction of capital stock and reserves
- Expansion of Bitcoin holdings to 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026
Gerovich reckons these proposals are vital to how Metaplanet sees things a year from now and for years beyond. The new shares provide them with greater financial flexibility. At the same time, the Bitcoin strategy is meant to position the company as a leader in holding onto that cryptocurrency. Shareholders are encouraged to cast their vote before the Friday deadline using the QR code provided with the convocation notice.
Where the Stock’s At and Bitcoin’s Volatility
Metaplanet’s Japan-listed stock, MTPLF, and its US-traded counterpart have shown strong gains recently, but they remain sensitive to market fluctuations.
- Metaplanet stock (JPY): Closed at 436 JPY, down 1.36%; 24-hour range: 408–439 JPY
- MTPLF stock (USD): Closed at $2.71, down 2.8% due to EGM uncertainty
- Bitcoin (BTC): Trading near $89,000, 24-hour range: $87,634–$90,302, with a 30% drop in volume
