Metaplanet (3350), a Japan-based Bitcoin investment firm, is set to be added to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Japan Index on February 28, according to its CEO, Simon Gerovich.

The MSCI Japan Index tracks mid-to-large-cap Japanese stocks and serves as a key benchmark for institutional investors worldwide. Metaplanet’s inclusion is expected to boost its exposure to global investment funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track MSCI indices.

Increased Visibility and Market Validation
Gerovich took to X (formerly Twitter) to highlight the positive impact of this inclusion, stating that it will bring:

Greater visibility in global markets
Increased passive inflows from institutional investors
Stronger validation of Metaplanet’s growth and strategy
“This milestone further solidifies Metaplanet’s position as Asia’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Company and expands our reach in global markets,” Gerovich emphasized.

Expanding Bitcoin Holdings
Alongside this major development, Metaplanet has raised $26 million (4 billion yen) through 0% unsecured, unguaranteed ordinary bonds. The company confirmed that all funds will be used to acquire more Bitcoin, further reinforcing its status as a major Bitcoin-focused entity.

Final Thoughts
Metaplanet’s inclusion in the MSCI Japan Index marks a significant step in its journey, bringing greater recognition and financial backing from global investors. With fresh capital to expand its Bitcoin holdings, the company continues to establish itself as a leading force in Bitcoin-focused treasury management.
