Bitcoin Treasury Firm Metaplanet Joins FTSE Japan and All-World Indices

Metaplanet, the Tokyo-based firm known as “Japan’s Strategy,” has been added to the FTSE Japan Index and the FTSE All-World Index.

The move shows rising acceptance of bitcoin-focused firms in mainstream finance and may bring more institutional investors to Metaplanet’s stock.

Metaplanet Upgrades to Global Indices

Japanese Bitcoin treasury firm, Metaplanet, has been added to the FTSE Japan Index following its recent Q2 performance that led to its upgrade from small-cap to mid-cap stock.

The upgrade happened during the September 2025 Semi-Annual review conducted by FTSE Russell, an index provider that updates and adjusts indices every three months.

The inclusion implies that the firm has automatically gained a position in the FTSE All-World Index, which is a list that ranks all the largest publicly traded companies by market cap in each geographical region.

Following this, capital from traditional financial markets will flow into Bitcoin, and stock investors will be able to invest in Bitcoin indirectly.

Metaplanet Surges Past the Benchmark Index 

According to Metaplanet’s Q2 financial year report, the company posted year-to-date gains of about 187% surpassing the Tokyo Stock Price Index(TOPIX) Core 30, a stock market benchmark index that monitors Japanese major firms such as Toyota, Sony, and Nintendo, which had a 7.2% year-to-date increase.

In a recent interview with The Financial Times, Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, revealed the firm’s goal of acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027. He added that the company plans to purchase profitable businesses using some of its Bitcoin holdings and noted the possibility of acquiring a digital bank or a firm related to digital assets.
