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.
Bitcoin giant Strategy has added another 4,980 BTC to its reserves in a purchase worth approximately $531.9 million, according to Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
According to renowned market veteran Peter Brandt, trading isn’t the path to prosperity for the vast majority of people.
Charles Edwards, founder and CEO of Capriole Investments, has offered a fresh perspective on Bitcoin’s stalled price movement near the $100,000 mark, despite growing institutional enthusiasm.
Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin treasury with a new acquisition of 1,005 BTC valued at approximately $108.1 million, further cementing its status as one of the largest corporate holders of the digital asset.
