Metaplanet Exploring Listing Outside Of Japan

Metaplanet’s BTC purchase today comes after the firm’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, met with officials at the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq last week. 

Gerovich said in an X post today that he is exploring ways to make Metaplanet shares “more accessible to investors around the world.”

Metaplanet has not yet confirmed if it will list in the US.

Metaplanet’s shares (MTPLF) launched on the US-based OTC Markets on Nov. 22, 2024, making the company’s stock more accessible to international investors.

Since this launch, MTPLF shares have soared 530%, climbing from $3 to $18.9.

Metaplanet has also been among the best performers on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, with a 1,800% increase during this period.
