Metaprenet, a Japanese company operating in the hotel and real estate sector, has been temporarily suspended on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) as it reached daily limits that allow for increases.
As Cryptootics reports, Asian companies have been recognized since 2024 for adopting Bitcoin (BTC)’s aggressive investment strategy (BTC) as a reserve asset. Currently, the company has accumulated 7,800 BTC, with its aim to accumulate 10,000 BTC at the end of 2025.
At the time of this Metaplanet publication, it is ranked 11th in the Treasury cited companies in the most accumulated stock market.
Take this opportunity, the company was not news about purchasing BTC. Because the action has increased significantly.reach the maximum one-day limit permitted by TSE.
These stops depend on the closing price the previous day. The higher the price, the larger the range of vibration allowed. For example, as with Metaplanet recently, for actions that fall below 700 yen, the daily limit is ±100 yen per day. In other words, it cannot exceed 100 yen for closing the previous day. If the action reaches its halt, negotiations may be temporarily slow.
The following table shows different price ranges and corresponding daily limits according to current TSE rules.
Once you reach that stop for ±100 yen, the temporary suspension will be activated (“Limit stopping”) in negotiations with the aim of suppressing excessive volatility and protecting market stability.
In the following TradingView graph, we observe the price increase of the action and the temporal suspension activated to stop price fluctuations.
So, what was the event or catalyst for the price of the action? The main reason is that the company’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, warned that Metaprenet was the shortest position in Japan (short). In other words, many investors are betting on a price drop.
“Do you really believe that betting on Bitcoin is a winning strategy?” Gerovich wrote in X’s personal account. According to S&P Global Market Intelligence Securities Finance data, his post comes with a list of the most “short-circulated” Japanese actions.
Plus, there’s an interesting question. It is not permitted for business owners to directly promote action, but in this case Metaplanet CEOs are dedicated to spreading and promoting BTC.
As you can see, Metaprenet has the biggest interest in Japan, with 25.25% of its shares offering short-term and 179.1 million lawsuits.
This phenomenon is called “short aperture” and occurs when many investors are committed to the price of the action. But if the opposite occurs, what happens if you start climbing right away instead of going down? These investors are forced to close their positions and buy actions to avoid greater losses. That forced purchase will create even more bullish pressures and prices will rise even further.
In addition to “short throttles”, it should also be mentioned that an increase in BTC acts as an additional price catalyst.
The correlation with digital assets was important. This has created a rebound in BTC, reaching a new historic maximum at the time of this publication, that is even more optimistic among investors not only in Metaplanet but also in other companies with similar strategies.
For example, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), a company overseen by Michael Saylor, reached a price of $420.
This reinforces the narrative that BTC’s corporate recruitment not only changes traditional fiscal strategies, but also has the power to trigger an explosive stock market movement.
