Metaplanet states that JPX’s proposed TOPIX exclusion for companies with heavy crypto holdings will not change its Bitcoin strategy, as the company highlights broad shareholder participation and ecosystem expansion plans.
Metaplanet said Japan Exchange Group’s consultation on delaying TOPIX index inclusion for crypto-focused companies will not affect its Bitcoin strategy. CEO Simon Gerovich said more than 216,000 Japanese shareholders are participating in that strategy. He also said Project Nova is intended to expand Japan’s Bitcoin ecosystem through operations and partner investments. The update follows JPX’s proposal to exclude new TOPIX additions for companies holding more than 50% of total assets in cryptocurrencies, with the measure proposed for October 2026 after a public comment process.
