Metaplanet Inc., the Tokyo based early stage investment firm, has been added to the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index (BLOCK Index). This is big news for the company as it joins the ranks of the biggest players in the blockchain space and reaffirms its “disciplined Bitcoin accumulation” strategy to increase shareholder value. This is in line with Metaplanet’s mission to lead in digital finance and opens up more investor interest and brand visibility across Asia and beyond.
The BLOCK Index is a top-tier benchmark managed by CoinShares, Europe’s largest digital asset investment firm. It tracks the performance of 45 public companies involved in the development and deployment of blockchain and crypto solutions. With this addition, Metaplanet joins the likes of MicroStrategy, Galaxy Digital Holdings, Meta and Coinbase. For Metaplanet, this is a validation of its position in the digital asset space and an opportunity to increase its stature and reputation in the blockchain space.
Rising Influence in the Asian Crypto Market
Based in Tokyo, Metaplanet has been growing as one of Japan’s top blockchain and early-stage investment players. By joining the BLOCK Index, Metaplanet is expanding its presence in the Asian market and aims to attract international investors looking to get exposure to Asia’s digital finance. Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, said, “This is a big step for Metaplanet as we move into the digital finance era. We’re happy to be part of the CoinShares BLOCK Index and to be alongside the world’s top companies innovating in blockchain.”
Metaplanet’s strategy fits perfectly with Asia’s digital asset and blockchain adoption. Governments and financial institutions across the region are getting more interested in blockchain and that creates a great environment for companies like Metaplanet to innovate and scale. With the BLOCK Index and all the credibility that comes with it, Metaplanet will attract investors looking to get into Asia’s growing crypto market.
Disciplined Bitcoin Accumulation as a Strategic Asset
One of Metaplanet’s key strategies has been to accumulate Bitcoin as part of its treasury. This has been growing over the last year and recently Metaplanet revealed 1,108 BTC in its treasury, valued at around $69 million. This includes big purchases in the last few months, 600 BTC last month alone. In September Metaplanet bought 156 BTC for around $10 million, showing it’s building a Bitcoin focused portfolio that matches its vision of digital finance.
Metaplanet’s strategy is similar to that of US-based MicroStrategy, which holds the largest corporate Bitcoin reserve. By following the same path, Metaplanet will create value for its shareholders through what it calls a “BTC Yield” metric. This metric will measure the impact of Bitcoin’s holdings on shareholder value, so investors can see the financial benefit of Bitcoin’s performance. By accumulating discipline and long-term investment in Bitcoin, Metaplanet will be one of the leaders in Asia’s digital asset space.
BTC Yield: An Innovative Metric for Shareholder Value

The “BTC Yield” is a new concept in the investment world, but Metaplanet is one of the first to adopt it in the blockchain space. By showing the yield generated from its Bitcoin holdings, Metaplanet gives shareholders a direct view of the financial benefits of its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. This is similar to MicroStrategy’s “Bitcoin Yield”, which has gotten a lot of attention from investors worldwide.
Through this metric Metaplanet is showing its commitment to transparency and shareholder value. With the volatility of Bitcoin the BTC Yield gives investors a stable point of reference to see how Metaplanet’s digital asset holdings are performing in a way that aligns with traditional financial metrics. For investors this adds an extra layer of accountability and allows them to see the long term profitability of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy.
Transparency and Trust Through Strategic Partnerships
Metaplanet has also taken steps to increase transparency around its Bitcoin holdings. It recently partnered with Hoseki, a Bitcoin verification leader, to allow for verifiable verification of its holdings on the Hoseki Verified platform. This shows Metaplanet’s commitment to transparency in an area where credibility is key to investor trust. With Hoseki, shareholders and potential investors can see the company’s Bitcoin holdings, and that adds to Metaplanet’s credibility.
What This Means for Metaplanet’s Future
Being part of the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index means more visibility for Metaplanet and is a growth trigger. With a growing reputation and expanding Bitcoin portfolio, Metaplanet is now a major player in the crypto space in Japan and globally. The company’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy and innovative metrics like BTC Yield and partnerships to increase transparency means it has a clear path to growth and value creation.
Being listed in the BLOCK Index means Metaplanet gets validation from CoinShares, a trusted name in digital asset management. Investors looking to get into blockchain will take note of this as a sign of Metaplanet’s potential and importance in the space. It fits with the company’s long term goals and opens up collaborations, further investments and potential partnerships as it solidifies its position in the digital finance landscape.
