Metaplanet ($3350 (-6.9%)) has caused quite a stir in recent months - not only because of its growing Bitcoin holdings, but also because of the recent announcement of a 1:10 stock split. But why is this interesting?

1️⃣ What does Metaplanet do?

Metaplanet is a Japanese investment company that has been increasingly focusing on Bitcoin since 2023. This is very similar to MicroStrategy, which holds Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Metaplanet therefore allows you to invest indirectly in Bitcoin without buying crypto directly.

2️⃣ The stock split - what does it mean?

Metaplanet carried out a 1:10 split on 01.04.2025. This means:

✅ The share price becomes visually more favorable (better liquidity)

✅ The number of shares increases tenfold

✅ The market value of the company remains the same

Splits often lead to higher demand, as more investors feel psychologically attracted - a possible catalyst for share price increases.

3️⃣ Why is Metaplanet exciting?

✔ Bitcoin exposure without a crypto wallet

✔ Japanese regulation (high transparency)

✔ Still relatively unknown = potential for early investors

Metaplanet currently holds 117 BTC and plans to increase further. If Bitcoin rises in the coming years, Metaplanet could also benefit massively.

4️⃣ Note the risks!

⚠ Highly volatile - not a safe investment

⚠ Strong focus on BTC - if BTC falls, Metaplanet will also suffer

⚠ Japanese market - note trading hours & regulation

Conclusion: Interesting Bitcoin proxy

If you want to profit indirectly from Bitcoin without having to deal with wallets or exchanges, you could put Metaplanet on your watchlist. The stock split could provide short-term movement - but in the long term, everything depends on Bitcoin.

📊 What do you think? Does Metaplanet have potential or is the risk too high? 🚀👇

• Stock rallies strongly.
• https://news.bitcoin.com/de/bericht-behauptet-dass-meme-aktienriese-gamestop-die-zuweisung-von-bitcoin-in-die-schatzkammer-in-erwaegung-zieht/

Coinbase Global $COIN (-2.72%)Q4 earnings with revenue increase

• Coinbase Global (COIN) on Thursday reported fourth-quarter diluted earnings of $4.68 per share, up from $1.04 a year earlier.
• Analysts polled by FactSet had expected $2.11.
• Revenue for the quarter ended Dec. 31 was $2.27 billion, up from $953.8 million a year earlier.
• Analysts polled by FactSet had expected $1.84 billion.
• The company said it expects first-quarter subscription and services revenue of $685 million to $765 million.
• Shares rose nearly 2% in after-hours trading.

Nestle $NSRGY (+1.07%)increases dividend despite profit decline

• Nestle, the world's largest food manufacturer, wants to increase its dividend despite the recent difficult times.
• It is to be increased by five centimes to 3.05 francs, the producer of brands such as Kitkat and Nespresso announced in Zurich on Thursday.
• This will be the 29th consecutive increase in the dividend, despite a fall in sales and profits last year.
• The Group recently struggled with weak demand, high costs and the strong Swiss franc.
• Sales fell by 1.8 percent year-on-year to 91.4 billion Swiss francs in 2024.
• Adjusted for exchange rate changes and acquisitions and disposals of business units, however, Nestle grew by 2.2 percent compared to the previous year.
• The so-called organic growth is made up of price adjustments of 1.5 percent and volume increases (RIG) of 0.8 percent.
• Growth was therefore slightly better than experts had expected.
• The dividend is also a tad higher than expected.
• For 2025, the management continues to forecast an improvement in organic sales growth compared to 2024.
• The underlying operating profit margin is expected to be 16.0 percent or higher.
• In the medium term, Nestle wants to return to values of over 17 percent.
• Organic sales growth is expected to be "4 percent plus in a normal business environment".
• As already announced at the Investor Day in November, the Group intends to save around 2.5 billion Swiss francs by the end of 2027.
• The savings will be used to finance higher investments in marketing.

Cisco $CSCO (-4.32%)raises sales forecast for the full year

• Cisco Systems raised its full-year revenue forecast on Wednesday, banking on higher demand for its cloud networking devices amid a boom in artificial intelligence technology.
• The company expects revenue of between $56 billion and $56.5 billion for fiscal 2025, compared with its previous forecast of $55.3 billion to $56.3 billion.
• Analysts on average expect 55.99 billion dollars, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Producer prices in the USA rise more than expected

• In the USA, producer prices have risen more strongly than expected.
• In January, the prices that manufacturers charge for their goods rose by 3.5 percent year-on-year, according to the US Department of Labor in Washington on Thursday.
• Economists had only expected 3.3 percent.
• The last time the rate was higher was in February 2023, when the core rate, which excludes volatile prices for energy and food, was 3.6 percent in January.
• Economists had expected just 3.3 percent.
• According to economists, the core rate better reflects the price trend.
• Compared to the previous month, producer prices rose by 0.4 percent.
• An increase of 0.3 percent had been expected here.
• The core rate rose by 0.3% month-on-month, as expected.
• Producer prices influence consumer prices, on which the US Federal Reserve bases its monetary policy.
• In January, the inflation rate in the US was 3.0%, above the Fed's inflation target of 2%.
• Inflation has recently proved to be stubborn.
• Economists therefore do not expect further interest rate cuts until the end of the year.

The SEC has finally repealed the controversial SAB 121 directive, which made the custody of $BTC (-3.71%) and cryptocurrencies virtually impossible for traditional banks in the USA. This has resulted in a kind of monopoly position for $COIN (-2.72%) which therefore, for example, all $BTC (-3.71%) of the spot ETFs and $MSTR (-3.1%) were allowed to store them. This will most likely change in the future.

Furthermore, loans collateralized with Bitcoin will now be possible, which could be another potential price driver.

This directive should have been repealed last year. However, President Joe Biden vetoed it shortly before it was due to take effect.
