Metaplanet on Monday, December 22, approved a comprehensive capital structure overhaul that will let Japan’s largest Bitcoin Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) firm raise funds via dividend-priority share issuances to institutional investors. The approved plan includes reclassifying capital reserves, doubling the authorized number of Class A and Class B preferred shares, and revising the dividend structure to add both floating and regular dividends. Class A preferred shares will use a monthly floating dividend mechanism, while Class B preferred shares will offer quarterly dividends and be available to international institutional investors. Metaplanet currently holds roughly 30,823 bitcoins worth $2.75 billion, making it Asia’s largest Bitcoin DAT company. The firm will also list on the U.S. over-the-counter (OTC) market via American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), further expanding its global footprint.

Analyst: Trump Speech Drives Soaring Oil Prices, Risk Premium Surges

Crude Oil Futures Surge on Trump’s Iran Comments (April 2) Crude oil futures prices jumped sharply on April 2, after former President Donald Trump’s remarks on the Iran situation dashed traders’ hopes for a quick resolution to the Middle East conflict. TP ICAP analyst Scott Shelton noted in a report: “Oil prices were under pressure for most of the week, but Trump’s comments sparked an overnight surge. The remarks tilted toward escalation and completing the mission, with little mention of peace negotiations.” He added that while the move may aim to pressure Iran back to the negotiating table, the oil risk premium has spiked sharply.
