Metaplanet's Q3 2023 Performance: A Deep Dive

Metaplanet, a Japanese investment company, experienced a significant decrease in its Bitcoin valuation gains during the third quarter of the year. This decline is primarily attributed to the lingering effects of the crypto market crash in October, which continues to weigh on companies holding Bitcoin treasuries.

Key Figures

* The company recorded 10.6 billion yen (approximately $1.4 billion USD) in Bitcoin valuation gains during Q3. * This represents a 39% decrease from the 17.4 billion yen (approximately $2.4 billion USD) reported in the previous quarter. * Stock amortization costs for the third quarter amounted to $26 million USD.

Company Statement

Metaplanet maintains that its Bitcoin Treasury Business is progressing steadily according to plan and is not dependent on short-term price fluctuations.

Investment Strategy

Metaplanet, also known as "Asia's Strategy," aims to acquire 210,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2027 through equity financing opportunities.

Impact of Crypto Market Crash

Corporate crypto holders and Bitcoin treasuries are still feeling the pressure following the $19 billion USD crypto market crash on October 10th.

Metaplanet's Bitcoin Position

Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings have been in the red since the market crash, as the company acquired its Bitcoin at an average cost of $108,000 USD per coin, nearly 5% below the current BTC price of $103,000 USD.

Bitcoin-Backed Loan

Metaplanet faced criticism regarding its recent $100 million USD Bitcoin-backed loan, which was secured to purchase more BTC in an effort to lower their total cost basis. The loan was finalized on October 31st, using the company's Bitcoin holdings as collateral.

Metaplanet's Stock Performance

Metaplanet's stock price has fallen over 27% in the past month and over 6.5% in the past five days, according to Yahoo Finance data.

Potential Restrictions from Japan Exchange Group

The company's stock price was also impacted by reports that the Japan Exchange Group (JPX) is considering new restrictions on publicly listed companies holding cryptocurrencies.

CEO's Response

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the JPX's concerns only apply to companies with inadequate approval processes that may have circumvented proper governance or disclosure regulations.
