Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovish broke his silence on mounting shareholder criticism, but the response did little to calm investors — shares fell roughly 7.5% to close at 271 yen the day after his statement was posted. At the center of the controversy is a Series 10 executive stock option pool that ballooned from about 46 million shares to 319.46 million shares through a floating allocation formula tied to the company's fully diluted share count, a structure only capped in August 2026 after it had already grown nearly sevenfold. Gerovish acknowledged the company hadn't adequately explained the arrangement, and said that while he's a significant but non-controlling shareholder in the parent of MMXX Ventures — a Metaplanet shareholder — he doesn't participate in that firm's trading decisions. The chart accompanying the article underscores the market's skepticism: since early January 2026, Metaplanet's stock has underperformed both Bitcoin and the Nikkei 225, dropping over 37% even as the Nikkei gained roughly 25%.
