It seems many Metaplanet investors still believe the core issue is simply that Simon Gerovich received excessive compensation. It is much worse than that. While his compensation package was undeniably high, the more alarming reality is that management was directly incentivized to prioritize their own gain over shareholder value. Because executive incentive structure awarded management 0.2 shares for every new share issued, they pursued deals like last September’s disastrous International Offering. That transaction expanded the balance sheet by 50%—generating significant pay for management while adding almost no value for common shareholders. Compounding the problem, management obscured the anti-dilution clause that triggered these stock grants. Buring the clause deep within regulatory filings in Japan, management ignored repeated shareholder inquiries explaining why total shares outstanding spiked post-offering. Had this gone unchecked, management’s blueprint was to preserve this anti-dilution protection through 2033. Plans were already set to issue the 26th and 27th series of stock at 1.01 mNAV—a structure designed to potentially reduce Bitcoin per share for common investors while enriching leadership. Ultimately, they built an engine explicitly designed to siphon wealth away from equity holders. The sheer brazenness of this scheme is astonishing. Did management genuinely assume this model was sustainable, or was the goal always to exploit retail investors just long enough to secure personal wealth and pad the corporate treasury? @saylor @ColeMacro @LawrenceLepard @JoshMandell6 @laurashin @ZynxBTC @RoaringRagnar

Their willingness to dilute at 1.01 mNAV, but refusal to buy back at 0.85 mNAV appears to be evidence that they were more concerned with themselves. They likely wouldn't have repurchased until 0.6 mNAV, because they'd actually earn more that way

Metaplanet still has huge potential, but at least Gerovich should be gone He doesn’t have the virtues to lead bitcoin adoption in Japan through the financial markets

Good callout. Precisely because of the 10th SO, the Sep 25 International Offerings to increase number of shares outstanding to raise monies to buy BTC rewarded Management with 20% additional shares effectively charging 20% AUM fees instantly which is a failure.

@natbrunell @AdamBLiv On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst, how unethical is this by the MetaPlanet team? Natalie, snag an interview with Simon and Dylan and ask the hard questions.

Luckily I'm not a shareholder. I, again luckily, cannot buy #MTPLF shares with my UK platform. I would not invest in any company whose senior team I did not trust. Business owners (shareholders) and CEOs should work together.

Per Grok, last 4.5 years CEO averaged $60-$80 million in total comp. Jamie Dimon's best year ever was $43 million. Shareholder lawsuits likely.

Bitcoiners are generally truth-loving libertarians who want to better the world upgrading the money. We should not tolerate bad actors that go against our core values . Time to short the scammers. @AdamBLiv

I have serious doubts about their leadership. They are treating shareholder trust as if it were something disposable — and once that trust is lost, it is not easily regained.

Stock price down 14% P2D on TSE. Maybe nothing. Someone's selling. Possibly spooked by the shifty behaviour.

Where does Japanese security laws stand on fiduciary duty of management to shareholders as this is a clear violation.

The more time passing since of the unveiling, the more disturbing it gets. So much is riding on what the team will do next. If they don't come to their senses Metaplanet management will be responsible for a serious black mark for Japanese vs international relations

@saylor @LawrenceLepard @DylanLeClair @gerovich @RoaringRagnar @ZynxBTC @thebtcpharaoh @Metaplanet — the playbook is simple: buy bitcoin, disclose everything, never dilute shareholders. Metaplanet’s CEO needs to follow it. Three moves: publish the MMXX ownership breakdown today, freeze the option pool and let it burn down, and stop issuing below 1.01 times mNAV. Last month he exercised sixty-four million options instead of canceling them — locking in his stake while the overhang stays. The market already took seventeen percent for the trust hit. It hasn’t priced the fix. If the review names the MMXX owners and resets the pool, the discount closes. If it doesn’t, another leg down. The pivot was brilliant. The governance around it isn’t. Shareholders approved a hotel company pool — they never signed up for a twenty-five percent overhang. Right the ship before the market does it for you. @gerovich if you don’t right the ship, you will go down as worse than Bernie M. and have done serious harm to BTCTC strategy and potential class action lawsuits.
