Metaplanet Mania: Bitcoin-Backed Small Cap Surpasses Japan’s Giants in Trading Volume

In a stunning display of small-cap momentum, Metaplanet Inc., a relatively under-the-radar firm with deep Bitcoin exposure, has eclipsed Japanese powerhouses Toyota and Sony in daily stock trading volume.

Fueled by renewed interest in digital assets and Bitcoin’s global price strength, Metaplanet’s stock has become a magnet for speculative and strategic capital alike. The company recently adopted a treasury strategy similar to MicroStrategy — accumulating Bitcoin as a core asset — and investors have responded in kind.

Key Highlights:

Metaplanet traded more shares than Toyota and Sony combined on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in the last session.

The surge comes amid a growing trend of small-cap firms leveraging crypto to boost asset strength and market attention.

With retail and institutional eyes on the company, Metaplanet has rapidly transformed from obscure tech player to breakout Bitcoin proxy.

SCN Takeaway:
Small caps continue to prove they’re where the real market action happens. Metaplanet’s volume spike is another reminder that innovation, volatility, and momentum often live far from the blue-chip headlines.
