Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, announced at the Bitcoin MENA conference that the company will not issue perpetual preferred shares, also known as "digital credits," in Japan over the next year. This decision provides Metaplanet a "one-year lead time" to introduce its own financial products in the Japanese market. Metaplanet plans to launch two new products, "Mercury" and "Mars," targeting Japan's limited market of perpetual preferred shares. "Mercury" is set to debut in early 2026, offering an annualized return of 4.9%. Due to restrictions on ATM financing in Japan, Metaplanet will utilize variable-strike-price warrants to issue these shares.
