But we saved everything 🙂.
After launching a U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based tech and investment firm, has raised ¥3.6 billion (approximately $23 million) through the issuance of ordinary bonds to fund further Bitcoin purchases, marking its twelfth such issuance.
The company disclosed that the funds will be entirely allocated to increasing its BTC holdings, in line with an aggressive accumulation strategy that has already brought its total stash to over 5,000 BTC.
The new bonds, approved by the company’s Board of Directors, are non-interest bearing and are scheduled to be redeemed at face value in October 2025. The issuance reflects Metaplanet’s continued commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury asset amid growing institutional adoption globally.
The funding effort follows the recent launch of Metaplanet’s U.S. subsidiary, signaling a broader international expansion that may align with regulatory arbitrage and capital flexibility. The firm has made it clear that rather than scaling back after recent acquisitions, it is actively sourcing capital to double down on Bitcoin.
Using the current raise, Metaplanet could acquire approximately 250 BTC at today’s market prices, further closing the gap toward its stated goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. The company recently added 145 BTC in April, demonstrating its momentum in hitting acquisition milestones.
Metaplanet’s approach stands out not just for its pace, but also for its use of debt-based instruments to acquire Bitcoin, a move echoing strategies by firms like Strategy. As the firm leverages bonds to fund crypto accumulation, it underscores a growing trend where companies integrate digital assets into balance sheets as strategic long-term reserves.
With market volatility and institutional demand for Bitcoin increasing, Metaplanet's play position it at the forefront of corporate crypto movement.
