To fund its ambitious goals, Metaplanet plans to rely on financial tools like loans and convertible bonds, which were pivotal in its 2024 strategy. While increasing Bitcoin reserves remains a priority, the company is also exploring ways to boost Bitcoin adoption in Japan, aiming to enhance its impact within the ecosystem.

The broader market trend of institutional adoption underscores Metaplanet’s strategy.
