Metaplanet announced an expanded shareholder benefits program with a four-tier loyalty structure — Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Nakamoto — determined by both the number of shares an investor holds and how long they hold them.
The top Nakamoto tier, named after Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, is reserved for shareholders who hold more than 50,001 shares for at least 24 months. Entry-level Silver status starts at 100 shares. The program takes effect for shareholders on the registry as of June 30, 2026.
Crypto-First Perks
The company partnered with 13 firms, with a heavy skew toward crypto. Headline offerings include a ¥20 million Bitcoin lottery through Coincheck and a 20% APY BTC campaign via Binance Japan. OKCoin Japan offers up to ¥150,000 in trading fee rebates. Blockstream and Tangem offer tiered discounts on hardware wallets.
Non-crypto partners span sake, dining, travel, coworking, and streaming — with several offering better rates at higher tiers.
Metaplanet itself will host tier-gated events starting January 2027. These include a membership lounge at its Hotel Royal Oak Gotanda and an annual “Ohapura” dinner for Nakamoto holders only.
The announcement drew positive reactions from Japanese retail investors on X. Comments included “thank you for the expansion,” and Metaplanet’s post racked up over 162,000 views within hours.
Building Sticky Shareholders
The move is part of a broader March 12 announcement that also included the launch of two new subsidiaries. Metaplanet shares closed at ¥373 on March 13, up 5.97% from the previous close, after touching an intraday high of ¥393.
Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder has 35,102 BTC and targets 100,000 by year-end. Its shareholder base has swelled to roughly 216,500. The tiered benefits program is designed to keep them engaged, offering tangible crypto perks that complement equity exposure during volatile BTC price cycles.
