Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has secured shareholder approval to significantly expand its capital structure, paving the way for billions in funding to pursue a bold Bitcoin accumulation strategy. The company’s shareholders approved amendments to their articles of incorporation that increase authorized shares to 2.7 billion, introducing new dual-class preferred stock systems and opening doors for diverse investor participation while safeguarding control for existing shareholders. The move offers investors two distinct share classes: Class A shares provide fixed dividends for income seekers, while Class B shares carry the potential for converting into common stock with a riskier but rewarding upside if Bitcoin’s value rises. This approach aims to shield established shareholders from dilution while unlocking up to $3.7 billion in funding for their ambitious Bitcoin acquisition target of 210,000 BTC by 2027.
