BlockBeats message: On April 5, Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, the largest Bitcoin crypto treasury company in Japan (DAT), posted that JPX (Japan Exchange Group) has launched a public consultation process and plans for now not to include companies whose “principal assets are cryptocurrencies” in the index. Metaplanet respects this process and says it will actively take part in making its voice heard publicly.

Metaplanet emphasized that its founding goal was to provide Japanese investors with a transparent, compliant way to indirectly hold Bitcoin through companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. But it goes beyond simply stockpiling Bitcoin—it also actively builds real business and invests in industry partners through the “Project Nova” initiative, driving the development of Japan’s Bitcoin ecosystem. At present, Metaplanet already has more than 216,000 Japanese shareholders supporting this mission.

Metaplanet pledged to continue constructive dialogue with all stakeholders, including JPX, hoping to help the market gain a deeper understanding of Bitcoin and the role of Metaplanet in Japan’s financial future.
