The Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet has been upgraded from small-cap to mid-cap in the FTSE Russell's semi-annual review in September 2025, thus being included in the flagship FTSE Japan Index.
The index provider updates and rebalances the index quarterly, and after Metaplanet's strong performance in the second quarter, it was added to the FTSE Japan Index, which covers mid-cap and large-cap companies listed on the Japanese exchange.
Metaplanet's inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index means it is automatically added to the FTSE All-World Index, which covers the largest listed companies by market capitalization across various geographical regions.
Being included in a major, globally recognized stock market index means that the company will redirect capital flow from traditional financial markets back to Bitcoin and provide passive stock investors with indirect exposure to the world's largest cryptocurrency.
According to the company's second-quarter financial report, Metaplanet outperformed the TOPIX Core 30 Index, which is a stock market benchmark index that includes Japanese manufacturing and technology giants such as Toyota, Sony, and Nintendo.
This Bitcoin treasury company announced in August that its year-to-date (YTD) returns are approximately 187%, while the TOPIX 30 Index has a year-to-date increase of 7.2%.
According to BitcoinTreasuries data, Metaplanet currently holds 18,888 BTC in its corporate treasury, making it the seventh-largest publicly traded holder of capped cryptocurrencies.
Metaplanet originally started as a hotel operator and repositioned itself as a Bitcoin treasury company in 2024. The amount of BTC it now holds exceeds that of Coinbase, Tesla, and Hut 8 Mining, making it the largest BTC treasury company in Japan by BTC holdings.
In July, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the company would use part of its BTC reserves to acquire additional revenue-generating businesses and mentioned the possibility of acquiring a digital bank or businesses related to digital assets and currencies.
The company's executives have set a goal to accumulate 210,000 BTC by 2027, which would account for 1% of the total supply of 21 million of the currency.
