Metaplanet CEO: Japanese Investors Are Indirectly Investing in Bitcoin Through Tax-Free Investment Mechanisms

Simon Gerovich, CEO of the Japanese listed company Metaplanet, stated on X that Metaplanet became the most purchased stock in the NISA accounts of Japan's largest online brokerage, SBI Securities, last week. Japanese investors are indirectly investing in Bitcoin through NISA, a tax-free investment mechanism, while avoiding capital gains tax. Bitcoin, zero tax burden, and leverage have become the ultimate proxy choices for Japanese investors.
