Bitcoin Treasury Firm gets a purchase rating
Benchmark Equity Research has repeated its “buy” ratings of Metaplanet (MTPLF) stock, despite a 40% decline over the past month.
According to Yahoo Finance data, benchmark analyst Mark Palmer has set Metaplanet’s year-end price target of 2,400 yen to Metaplanet’s 2,400 yen.
Speaking about development, Palmer said:
“Bitcoin’s financial strategy has been clarified, and the suggestion that Metaplanet is no longer in our view is premature and unfair. The recent attacks from short-sellers have put pressure on Japanese companies’ stocks, but such a story overlooks the context of its meteor rise.”
Analysts highlighted that Metaplanet was Japan’s highest performance stock last year, an increase of 56% since the start of the year.
Palmer added that the company stands out by leveraging its Bitcoin holdings to generate recurring revenue through its derivatives strategy.
