Metaplanet’s executive stock pool sparks shareholder backlash as CEO addresses MMXX ties
Metaplanet’s executive stock pool continues to draw backlash over dilution concerns, as investors urged the company to freeze the exercise rights tied to 273 million shares.
Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet’s executive stock pool continues to draw shareholder backlash over stock dilution concerns.
Multiple shareholders objected across social media to Metaplanet’s 10th Series executive option pool, which was designed as 20% of fully diluted shares and automatically expanded as the company issued new shares to fund its Bitcoin (BTC) accumulation.
Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey defended Metaplanet’s executive stock model, saying that giving the team 20% of the cap table over five years “isn’t some crazy number” and that his company has been invested in Metaplanet since “day zero,” in a Tuesday X post.
