Fact Check
The evidence strongly and consistently supports the statement that MetaPlanet scheduled a shareholder vote on issuing preferred stock. Multiple high-authority financial news sources, including Yahoo Finance Japan, CoinDesk Japan, and Coinspeaker, directly confirm that an extraordinary shareholders' meeting was held to vote on this specific matter. The most compelling evidence comes from a Metaplanet director, Shinpei Okuno, who personally addressed shareholders on social media, urging them to vote on the preferred stock issuance at the scheduled meeting. Furthermore, several sources report on the outcome of the vote, which definitively proves that the vote was not only scheduled but took place. There are no contradictions in the evidence provided. The single source that doesn't explicitly confirm the scheduled vote discusses the company's strategy in a way that is consistent with the other reports. The confluence of direct confirmation from a company insider and multiple reputable media outlets provides a high degree of certainty.
