Metaplanet, often likened to Japan’s MicroStrategy, has secured 4 billion yen through zero-interest bonds.
The company intends to channel the entire amount into expanding its Bitcoin reserves, aiming to accumulate 21,000 BTC by the close of 2026.
The firm has unveiled a broader investment strategy, outlining a 116.3 billion yen commitment to Bitcoin-related initiatives. Of this, 107.3 billion yen is earmarked for direct BTC acquisitions by early 2027, while 5 billion yen will support Bitcoin-based revenue streams until the end of 2025.
This follows its recent bond issuance to EVO FUND, boosting its Bitcoin holdings to 1,761.98 BTC—currently valued at around 27.9 billion yen.
Metaplanet sees Japan’s economic instability, marked by soaring debt, negative interest rates, and a weakening yen, as a catalyst for its Bitcoin-driven treasury strategy. The firm aims for 35% quarterly growth in 2025, signaling an intensified focus on yield generation.
The company’s bold Bitcoin strategy has sent its stock soaring by 4,000%, hitting an all-time high of 7,020 yen. The surge has even drawn attention from MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor. Additionally, CEO Simon Gerovich announced that Metaplanet will join the MSCI Japan Index on February 28, 2025—an inclusion expected to increase institutional investor interest and drive demand for its shares.
According to new data shared by Bitcoin Magazine Pro, publicly traded companies now collectively hold over 844,822 BTC, valued at more than $100.5 billion, marking a historic milestone for institutional Bitcoin adoption.
Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, Truth+, and Truth.Fi, has officially disclosed that it now holds approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy has confirmed another major Bitcoin purchase, acquiring 6,220 BTC last week for approximately $739.8 million.
Bitcoin’s derivatives market is heating up, with open interest climbing back to $42 billion while funding rates continue to surge.
