The Tokyo-listed firm is now working to keep shareholders engaged through a Bitcoin rewards program, even as its stock has declined significantly this year.<\/p>\n<p>S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices removed Metaplanet from the S&amp;P Japan Mid Cap 100 as part of a rebalancing effort. The company had previously joined the index after successful trading linked to its strategy of accumulating Bitcoin, making it Asia\u2019s largest corporate Bitcoin treasury firm, according to CoinGape.<\/p>\n<p>This removal follows a significant drop in the company\u2019s stock price. Over the past month, Metaplanet\u2019s shares have fallen by -21% and are down -44% year-to-date, despite the company expanding beyond passive Bitcoin accumulation to include income-generating businesses and Bitcoin-linked financial products. Recently, it also acquired Siiibo Securities as part of this broader initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Most people still think Metaplanet <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24MPJPY&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$MPJPY<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24MTPLF&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$MTPLF<\/a> is just &#8220;Japan&#8217;s&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24MSTR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$MSTR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re missing the bigger picture.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet isn&#8217;t copying Strategy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s building a global Bitcoin capital machine that could become impossible to compete with.<\/p>\n<p>In this conversation with\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2SO5nKrovm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/2SO5nKrovm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 One Chair (@OneChairPod) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/OneChairPod\/status\/2068769319517843640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>DISCOVER:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-meme-coin-icos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Tokenized RWA Market Tops $51Bn Following +40% Growth in 2026<\/h2>\n<p>In other crypto news today, the market capitalization of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has exceeded $51Bn, reflecting a 40% increase since the start of 2026.
