[Metaplanet Delays Preferred Stock Listing Plan Due to Issues in the Japanese Market] According to CoinDesk, Japan's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Metaplanet, has delayed its preferred stock listing plan. CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the underdeveloped preferred stock market in Japan, regulatory requirements mandating that preferred dividends be supported by sustainable cash flow, and the company's plan to pay dividends monthly—far exceeding the typical annual or biannual frequency in the Japanese market—are the main reasons for the delay. The planned instrument would be Japan's seventh listed preferred stock and the first perpetual preferred stock. Metaplanet had previously announced the launch of two types of listed preferred stocks, Mars and Mercury.
