Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich joins Isabella Santos backstage at Bitcoin 2025 to reveal why the corporate Bitcoin gold rush is just beginning. From 190% Bitcoin yield to a bold strategy of Bitcoin-backed equity, Metaplanet is quickly emerging as the Strategy (MSTR) of Japan.
In this wide-ranging interview, Simon breaks down the mechanics of Bitcoin per share, explains how Bitcoin treasury companies can unlock yield, and shares his outlook for Bitcoin’s role in Japan’s shifting financial landscape. He also discusses the long-term vision for Bitcoin-backed securities and why latecomers will, as he says, “pay the price they deserve.”
