Metaplanet Included in FTSE Russell Japan and Global Stock Market Indices

Metaplanet, a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury firm, has transitioned from a small-cap to a mid-cap stock in the FTSE Russell’s Semi-Annual Review for September 2025, securing its spot in the prominent FTSE Japan Index.

The index provider updates and rebalances quarterly, and after Metaplanet’s robust Q2 results, it was included in the FTSE Japan Index, which features mid-cap and large-cap companies listed on Japanese exchanges.

Metaplanet’s addition to the FTSE Japan Index means it will automatically be included in the FTSE All-World Index, which tracks the largest publicly-listed companies by market capitalization across different regions.

The inclusion of Metaplanet in prominent global stock market indices means it will attract capital flows into Bitcoin from traditional financial markets, providing passive stock investors with indirect access to the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
