Inspired by MicroStrategy's Playbook
Metaplanet's CEO, Simon Gerovich, cites MicroStrategy's Bitcoin strategy and Michael Saylor's leadership as key inspirations. Following in the footsteps of these pioneers, Metaplanet has become Asia's largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder and ranks among the top 10 global holders.

The Growing Trend of Crypto Treasuries
Metaplanet's success has inspired other firms to adopt crypto treasury strategies, with companies like Jack Mallers-led Twenty One joining the movement. This trend extends beyond Bitcoin, with firms also exploring Ether, XRP, Solana, and other altcoins for corporate treasuries.
