Another important milestone for the company was its inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index in its September review. This moved Metaplanet from the small-cap to the mid-cap category, reflecting the company's increased relevance within the Japanese stock market. For Gerovich, this move represents "another important milestone in our journey as Japan's leading bitcoin treasury company."

The market's reaction was immediate. Metaplanet shares rose about 3,5% during morning trading in Japan, according to Yahoo Finance data. Despite the temporary gain, the shares have fallen 26,9% in the last month. However, for the year to date, the increase is still significant, reaching 2025%.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin had declined 1,5% over the past 24 hours, trading at $113.148 on Sunday night. Even with the short-term correction, Metaplanet's move reinforces the growing presence of publicly traded companies adopting the asset as a core part of their treasury strategy.
