Why does MetaPlanet hold Bitcoin?
Metaplanet's move to become a Bitcoin treasury is a response to Japan’s economic current climate, including the weakness of the yen and concerns over inflation. The company says it sees Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and offers a way to diversify its corporate treasury.
Have Metaplanet's shares ever split?
Metaplanet's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 27 March 2025. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Metaplanet shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Metaplanet shares which in turn could have impacted Metaplanet's share price.

Is it worth buying Metaplanet stock?
Valuing Metaplanet stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Metaplanet's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Metaplanet's P/E ratio
Metaplanet's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Metaplanet shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.
Metaplanet's EBITDA
Metaplanet's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$3.3 billion (£2.5 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Metaplanet's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Metaplanet share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Metaplanet's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$1.51 up to US$16. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (PINK average) beta is 1, while Metaplanet's is -0.114. This would suggest that Metaplanet's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Metaplanet has bucked the trend.
