\n

Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer initiated coverage of Metaplanet (3350.T) with a buy rating and a \u00a52,400 price target, calling the company “Japan’s answer to MSTR” due its aggressive bitcoin (BTC) acquisition strategy.<\/p>\n

That’s about 50% upside from the stock’s close of \u00a51,650 overnight. ADRs for the shares trade in the U.S. under the MTPLF symbol and closed Friday at $10.36.<\/p>\n

Palmer said Metaplanet’s \u201chyper-accumulation\u201d strategy, aiming for 210,000 BTC by 2027, or 1% of total supply, is backed by a unique capital-raising plan that thrives on volatility. <\/p>\n

Metaplanet’s recently announced ‘555 Million Plan<\/a>‘ would issue 555M moving strike warrants to raise \u00a5770B ($5.3B) over 6 to 10 months, fueling further bitcoin purchases, Palmer added.<\/p>\n

Once a small hotel operator, Metaplanet pivoted in April 2024<\/a> to become the nation\u2019s first listed bitcoin treasury play, offering leveraged exposure to Japanese investors facing tax hurdles to direct crypto ownership. The stock has since delivered a staggering 7,742% return, outperforming every other Japanese equity tenfold.<\/p>\n

Though Metaplanet trades at a 5.12x premium to net asset value (NAV), Palmer said the valuation is justified by its explosive BTC growth. The company has increased its bitcoin stack by 8,655% since Q3 2024 versus a 263% increase in diluted shares.<\/p>\n

The stock rose 11% in overnight trading in Tokyo, closing at Y1,650.<\/p>\n
