One out of every 600 people in Japan now holds shares in Metaplanet. That’s the kind of stat that makes you pause and reconsider what “mainstream adoption” actually looks like.
Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: 3350), Tokyo’s most aggressive corporate Bitcoin buyer, has surpassed 250,000 domestic shareholders, representing approximately 0.2% of Japan’s entire population. The number reflects a 66% increase in its shareholder base over just a few months.
