Metaplanet Achieves Milestone with BLOCK Index Inclusion

CoinShares, Europe's leading digital asset investment firm, has welcomed Japanese investment company Metaplanet Inc. to its Blockchain Global Equity Index (BLOCK). This milestone represents Metaplanet's first inclusion in a global equity index, joining 45 established blockchain innovators including MicroStrategy, Galaxy Digital, Meta, and Coinbase.

"This marks a pivotal moment for Metaplanet," announced CEO Simon Gerovich via X, as the company aims to expand its presence in Asia's dynamic crypto market. The firm's strategic Bitcoin accumulation—over 1,100 BTC valued at approximately $69 million this year alone—demonstrates its commitment to digital asset leadership in Japan.

The BLOCK Index employs rigorous selection criteria, evaluating companies based on earnings potential, market position, and blockchain innovation sustainability. Metaplanet's stock maintained stability at 1,583 JPY ($10.42) following the announcement.

Strengthening Trust Through Transparency

Partnering with Hoseki for Bitcoin holding verification, Metaplanet continues to prioritize transparency. The company recently introduced a "BTC Yield" metric, similar to MicroStrategy's approach, while implementing its Bitcoin treasury strategy as a hedge against yen exposure and macroeconomic uncertainty.

This strategic positioning comes as corporate interest in cryptocurrency reserve assets grows, exemplified by Abra's recent launch of dedicated corporate crypto custody services.
