Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has drawn attention to the impressive 121% rally in the Metaplanet stock

Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), has highlighted the significant 121% rally in Metaplanet's (OTCMKTS:MTPLF) stock following the Japanese firm's substantial Bitcoin buying activity. Today, the stock experienced a 15% surge on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, closing the day 100 points higher at 783 JPY. Notably, the Japanese firm has outpaced Strategy's performance since the beginning of 2025.

In a message on X, Michael Saylor expressed surprise at the impressive gains in Metaplanet's stock price.

"What's up with Metaplanet, Simon @Gerovich?" Saylor asked, tagging the CEO of the company, as he shared a chart showcasing the stock's stellar performance and 120% gains over the past month.

Responding to it, Gerovich stated: "Bitcoin is the key." Another major reason behind this stock rally is the impressive Q1 results reported by the Japanese firm. The operating revenue for Metaplanet has shot up to JPY 877 million.

The Japanese firm attributed its record-breaking earnings to a robust Bitcoin strategy. Since January 1, 2025, the company has expanded its Bitcoin holdings by 4.4 times, adding 6,038 BTC to bring its total to 7,800 BTC.

Apart from the strong performance on Tokyo Stock Exchange, the company’s US-listed stock MTPLF also saw record trading activity yesterday.

Completing $645M Funding Round
