The reform includes issuing dividend-preferred shares to institutional investors, doubling the authorized number of A and B class preferred shares, and revising the dividend structure to introduce both floating and regular dividends. A-class preferred shares will have a monthly floating dividend, while B-class preferred shares will offer quarterly dividends and be open to international institutional investors. Additionally, Metaplanet plans to list on the U.S. over-the-counter market via American Depositary Receipts to expand its global presence.
