Based in Japan, Metaplanet was a hotel industry investor that’s become notable over the past year for its bitcoin (BTC) treasury strategy modeled along the lines of Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy (MSTR). Capital Group’s boosted stake was noted in an X post by Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovic.
Metaplanet holds 1,762 BTC and is the fifteenth-largest publicly traded company that holds bitcoin. Since they adopted a bitcoin treasury strategy in April 2024, their share price is up over 1,700%.
