Japan's Untapped Preferred Stock Market Could Benefit from Bitcoin-backed Products

According to Odaily, Shinpei Okuno, the strategic head of Metaplanet Capital, shared insights on the X platform regarding the potential of preferred stocks in Japan's capital market. He noted that Japan's market for preferred stocks remains largely undeveloped, with only a few companies like Ito En, SoftBank, and Infronia having listed preferred stocks. Okuno emphasized that preferred stock strategies could attract a wide range of investors by offering financial products backed by Bitcoin. He suggested that if financial instruments such as STRF, STRK, and STRD under Strategy could be freely traded in Japan's capital market, it would be advantageous. The greatest potential for companies adopting a Bitcoin reserve strategy might lie in creating fixed dividend products supported by Bitcoin.
