Metaplanet Plunges Below 1x mNAV Milestone Following Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Launch

Tokyo's crypto-forward investment firm hits unprecedented valuation territory as market sentiment shifts.
The Bitcoin Bet Backfires
Metaplanet's ambitious treasury transformation—converting traditional reserves into Bitcoin—faces its first major market test. The stock now trades below modified net asset value for the first time since announcing the digital asset strategy.
Investors Fleeing Traditional Metrics
Market participants appear skeptical about valuing companies through crypto-colored glasses. The discount to mNAV suggests shareholders prefer old-school accounting over digital asset promises—proving once again that Wall Street still values profits over prophecies.
Corporate Crypto Adoption Hits Speed Bump
While MicroStrategy continues dancing with its Bitcoin billions, Metaplanet's stumble reveals the risks of following the crypto-corporate playbook. Sometimes being early looks an awful lot like being wrong.
Another case of 'innovative treasury management' that conveniently ignores the part where shareholders actually want returns.
