Metaplanet Gets Its First Big Break From Research Firm, and It’s About Time!

by

Well, well, well! Guess who’s finally making headlines? It’s none other than Metaplanet, the Japanese bitcoin treasury firm that just got its first taste of third-party research coverage. Oh, and it only took a report from UK-based Storm Research to make it happen—no big deal, right? 😏

Storm Research, a boutique equities research shop (with a name that sounds like it’s about to blow through your stock portfolio), has been around since 2009, specializing in small to mid-cap Japanese stocks. You know, the ones no one really talks about until they go from zero to 3,600% like Metaplanet. According to Storm’s LinkedIn page, Japan’s economy is home to “hundreds of listed companies with little to no analyst coverage.” Clearly, Metaplanet was just waiting for its moment to shine. ✨

And shine it did! After implementing a bitcoin treasury strategy last year (you know, the kind of thing that makes Wall Street take notice), Metaplanet’s stock went through the roof, and we’re talking about a meteoric rise—3,600% in twelve months, folks. Talk about a glow-up! Before 2024, though, Metaplanet was just a struggling hotel developer—losing money hand over fist for six years straight. 😬

But now? Now, they’re a force to be reckoned with. “Pleased to share that Storm Research has initiated coverage on Metaplanet, our first third-party research report,” Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, tweeted (because that’s where all the important news breaks these days, right?). “An important milestone to help institutional investors understand our bitcoin-first strategy and business model.” Wow, a real milestone! 🚀

So, who’s ready to invest in the next big thing? No pressure. 😏
