Metaplanet CEO Unveils Key Proposals at EGM

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich outlined several key proposals that will be up for discussion at the EGM. These include the issuance of preferred shares, which will impact the company’s long-term strategy. The company plans to introduce both Class A preferred shares (MARS) and Class B preferred shares (MERCURY).

Gerovich also revealed that Metaplanet intends to propose a reduction in capital stock and capital reserves. This proposal is expected to play a role in the company’s broader strategy for growth and stability. Metaplanet aims to expand its Bitcoin holdings to 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026.

The upcoming EGM has become a focal point for investors, with Metaplanet stock showing volatility ahead of the meeting. The company’s stock rebounded in recent days but has faced uncertainty due to the fluctuating price of Bitcoin and the EGM’s significance. Investors will be closely watching how shareholders vote on these crucial proposals.

Bitcoin Price Volatility Adds to Market Uncertainty

The uncertainty surrounding the EGM is compounded by Bitcoin’s ongoing volatility. As of the latest data, Bitcoin trades near $89,000, with a 24-hour low of $87,634 and a high of $90,302. The drop in trading volume, which has fallen by 30% over the past 24 hours, further reflects market instability.

Metaplanet’s stock price closed at 436 JPY, down 1.36%, following a series of ups and downs. Over the past few sessions, Metaplanet’s shares rebounded by nearly 15%, partly due to the bounce in mNAV. However, the fluctuations in Bitcoin’s price and investor nerves surrounding the EGM are making the stock highly volatile.

Meanwhile, the US-listed MTPLF also showed a decline, closing 2.8% lower at $2.71 on Friday. This decline further illustrates the broader market uncertainty as shareholders prepare for the online EGM.
