Metaplanet (3350) has announced a two tier preferred share structure aligned with its bitcoin centric financing strategy, beginning with its Class A preferred shares known as MARS. MARS, short for Metaplanet Adjustable Rate Security, is a senior, non dilutive preferred equity instrument designed to provide monthly adjustable dividends that respond to market conditions, according to Head of Strategy, Dylan LeClair.

LeClair notes, the dividend rate rises when the Class A share price trades below par and adjusts down when above par. With no conversion rights and no dilution to common shareholders, MARS is positioned as the stable income and volatility smoothing instrument at the top of Metaplanet’s equity capital stack, sitting senior to both Mercury and common equity.
