Reputed as Japan's MicroStrategy, MetaPlanet has recently made a surprising move. In a statement released on December 2, MetaPlanet collaborated with SBI Holding's subsidiary SBI VC Trade to airdrop up to 30 million yen in Bitcoin to investors who open accounts at SBI VC Trade and hold MetaPlanet stocks. However, before the press deadline, MetaPlanet's stock price actually fell by 1.8%.
Foreigners cannot participate in the MetaPlanet shareholder benefits program.
The shareholder benefits program of MetaPlanet and SBI VC Trade mainly distributes a total of 30 million yen in Bitcoin to 2,350 eligible shareholders. The definition of eligible shareholders is as follows:
By December 31, 2024, hold at least 1 trading unit (100 shares) of Metaplanet stock.
From November 18, 2024, to March 31, 2025, individuals or corporations that open a new account at SBI VC Trade.
In early February 2025, a registration link will be sent to eligible shareholders via email. Eligible shareholders must complete registration on the exclusive website to participate in the benefits program. However, it is important to note that SBI VC Trade does not allow minors and non-Japanese citizens to open accounts, and Taiwanese MetaPlanet holders cannot participate in this program.
Individuals can receive up to 100,000 yen worth of Bitcoin.
Specifically, MetaPlanet and SBI VC Trade will distribute a total of 30 million yen in Bitcoin to 2,350 eligible shareholders through a lottery system, with the specific distribution as follows:
100,000 yen in Bitcoin: 50 winners
30,000 yen in Bitcoin: 100 winners
10,000 yen in Bitcoin: 2,200 winners
The awarded Bitcoin will be credited to the winners' SBI VC Trade accounts by late April 2025. The distribution amount will be calculated based on the purchase price of SBI VC Trade at 23:59 on April 15, 2025.
MetaPlanet is regarded as Japan's MicroStrategy, with backing from Sora Ventures, headquartered in Taipei 101. The company is also considered one of the best-performing stocks in the Japanese market this year.
