Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich Pt 2: 555 (Go Go Go) – BTCTCs Expert subseries (B001)

In the inaugural episode of our new BTCTCs subseries at Syz the Future, Simon Gerovich (https://x.com/gerovich) of Metaplanet (3350:JP / $MTPLF) joins Richard (https://x.com/RichardByworth) in the studio for part 2 of our ongoing conversation on Metaplanet and other Bitcoin treasury companies (BTCTCs). Part 1 is here: (https://rumble.com/v6tkr8h-ep.12-simon-gerovich-the-future-of-capital-is-here.html) The discussion goes in depth on the ins and outs of a functioning BTCTC, from the different mechanisms needed to continually issue shares into the markets in order to accumulate more bitcoin (e.g. ATM) as well as the very unique solution Metaplanet harnessed to achieve the same. We also chat about put underwriting, Metaplanet's entry into the US, growing institutional interest and the Japanese bond and pref market. As a former derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs, Simon put his trading prowess to task taking Metaplanet to a $7bn market cap from $2bn two months ago when we recorded our first session. The BTCTC journey of Metaplanet began at $10mn market cap 14 months ago.

We believe that BTCTCs are acting as the release valve for the outlandish valuations in the Equity and Bond markets. As such, we felt this moment in time required a deeper dive into their analysis. Welcome to the BTCTC sub-series.
