Metaplanet, a Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) treasury company, has been upgraded from a small-cap to a mid-cap stock in index provider FTSE Russell\u2019s September 2025 Semi-Annual Review, bumping it up for inclusion in the flagship FTSE Japan Index.<\/p>\n

The index provider updates<\/a> and rebalances the indices quarterly, and following Metaplanet\u2019s strong Q2 performance<\/a>, added it to the FTSE Japan Index, a stock market index of mid-cap and large-cap companies listed on Japanese exchanges.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index means it is automatically added to the FTSE All-World Index of the largest publicly-listed companies by market capitalization in each geographic region.<\/p>\n
