The Japanese version of MicroStrategy has come up with another surprising move! MetaPlanet collaborates with SBI VC Trade to Airdrop 30 million yen worth of BTC to holders.

MetaPlanet, known as Japan's MicroStrategy, recently made another surprising move. In a statement released on December 2nd, MetaPlanet announced a collaboration with SBI VC Trade, a subsidiary of SBI Holding. They will airdrop up to 30 million Japanese yen worth of BTC to investors who open an account with SBI VC Trade and hold MetaPlanet stocks. However, the stock price of MetaPlanet actually dropped by 1.8% before the deadline.

Foreigners cannot participate in MetaPlanet shareholder benefits

The shareholder benefits program of MetaPlanet and SBI VC Trade is primarily aimed at distributing a total of 30 million yen worth of BTC to 2,350 eligible shareholders. The definition of eligible shareholders is as follows:

By December 31, 2024, hold at least 1 trading unit (100 shares) of Metaplanet stock.

During the period from November 18, 2024 to March 31, 2025, individuals or legal entities can open a new account at SBI VC Trade.

In early February 2025, a registration link will be sent to eligible shareholders by email, and eligible shareholders must complete the registration on the dedicated website to participate in the welfare program. However, it is worth noting that SBI VC Trade does not allow minors and non-Japanese citizens to open accounts, so holders of MetaPlanet in Taiwan cannot participate in this program.

Individuals can receive up to 100,000 Japanese yen equivalent in Bitcoin

Specifically, MetaPlanet and SBI VC Trade will distribute a total of 30 million yen worth of BTC to 2,350 eligible shareholders through a lottery system. The specific distribution is as follows:

100,000 yen of BTC: 50 winners

30,000 yen BTC: 100 winners

10,000 yen BTC: 2,200 winners

The winning BTC will be deposited into the winner's SBI VC Trade account by the end of April 2025. The allocation amount will be calculated based on the buying price of SBI VC Trade on April 15, 2025, 23:59.

MetaPlanet is known as Japan's micro-strategy, with its backer including Sora Ventures, headquartered in Taipei 101. The company is also hailed as one of the best-performing stocks in the Japanese market this year.
