Metaplanet Unleashes Nakamoto Perks That’ll Make You Laugh and Cry

by

Metaplanet has unveiled a loyalty program that sounds like a banker’s fever dream: four tiers of shareholder perks – Silver, Gold, Diamond, and the mythical Nakamoto – based on how many shares you clutch and how long you cling to them.

The Nakamoto tier, honoring the mysterious wizard behind Bitcoin, is reserved for those who hoard over 50,001 shares for at least two years. For the mere mortals, Silver begins at 100 measly shares. Only shareholders in the registry as of June 30, 2026, get to join this gilded circus.

Crypto-First Perks

Thirteen partners have jumped aboard, most waving the crypto flag. The star attractions include a ¥20 million Bitcoin lottery courtesy of Coincheck, a 20% APY BTC offer via Binance Japan, and OKCoin Japan throwing up to ¥150,000 in trading fee rebates like candy at a festival. Blockstream and Tangem sprinkle in tiered discounts on hardware wallets, just in case your crypto-hoarding muscles need flexing.

Non-crypto collaborators cover sake, dining, travel, coworking, and streaming – because nothing says loyalty like a sake-fueled conference call. Naturally, the higher your tier, the fancier the perks. Who knew shareholder love came with side dishes?

Metaplanet itself will host tier-gated events starting January 2027. Expect a membership lounge at the Hotel Royal Oak Gotanda and an annual “Ohapura” dinner for Nakamoto devotees only. Just imagine the crypto cult meets fine dining – hilarious, yet slightly intimidating.

The announcement set Japanese retail investors on X ablaze. Reactions ranged from polite “thank you for the expansion” to the kind of excitement usually reserved for lottery winners. Over 162,000 views in hours proved that money and hope still make a potent cocktail.

Building Sticky Shareholders

This cunning maneuver follows Metaplanet’s March 12 reveal, which also birthed two new subsidiaries. Shares closed at ¥373 on March 13, up 5.97% from the previous close, flirting with an intraday high of ¥393 – apparently money loves a dramatic entrance.

Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin hoarder has 35,102 BTC and eyes 100,000 by year-end, all while cultivating a shareholder army of roughly 216,500 souls. The tiered benefits are a crafty glue, keeping them enchanted with crypto treats while the BTC rollercoaster throws tantrums.
