According to Odaily Planet Daily, in response to the Japan Exchange (JPX)'s announcement of a delay in soliciting public opinion on including companies whose main assets are cryptocurrencies in its index, Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, a Japanese Bitcoin treasury company, stated on the X platform that he respects the relevant procedures and will actively participate. He added that this will not affect the company's Bitcoin strategy and ecosystem development. He further stated that Metaplanet was initially founded to provide Japanese investors with a compliant channel to access Bitcoin through listed companies on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but the company's strategy extends beyond asset allocation. It will promote the development of the Japanese Bitcoin ecosystem through "Project Nova," including establishing operational businesses and investing in industry partners. To date, over 216,000 Japanese shareholders have participated in this strategy. Metaplanet will continue to maintain constructive communication with all parties, including the JPX, to enhance market awareness of Bitcoin and the company's role in the Japanese financial system.
