Metaplanet2026-08-28 08:36:50Metaplanet CEO says Bitcoin has bottomed and the first Asian cycle has begunSimon Gerovich, chief executive of Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, said at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference in Hong Kong that Bitcoin has likely already found its bottom and that market conditions turned decisively last week. In his speech, titled "The First Asian Cycle," he argued that the current phase is different from earlier cycles that were driven mainly by Western markets. Gerovich pointed to two forces behind that shift: a large pool of Asian household savings and regulatory changes now taking shape across the region. He said Japanese households hold about $14 trillion in financial assets, with roughly half sitting in near-zero-interest bank deposits, and added that wealth managed in South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong adds to what he described as the world’s deepest pool of patient savings. He also cited legal changes in Japan passed in July, which would place Bitcoin under the same regulatory framework as stocks and bonds and cut capital gains tax from as high as 55% to 20%, with implementation targeted for 2027 to 2028. Gerovich said the main opportunity is not simply that Bitcoin may rise, but that much of Asia’s capital still cannot easily access the asset.920

MSCI2026-08-26 12:29:46MSCI review could remove Strategy from global indexes and raise funding pressureMSCI is considering a rule change that could exclude companies focused mainly on accumulating assets rather than running operating businesses from its global equity indexes. Based on data from May this year, the proposed methodology would remove Strategy, Japan’s bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, and uranium investment company Yellow Cake. The move matters most for Strategy, which has funded more than $60 billion in bitcoin purchases through securities issuance. If the company were dropped from MSCI indexes, the pool of investors required to hold its shares could shrink, weakening demand for the stock. That, in turn, could make it harder for Strategy to keep raising capital for additional bitcoin purchases. The report was cited by Odaily.860
