Metaplanet Issues $50M Bond to Acquire More Bitcoin
Metaplanet issued its 16th Series of Ordinary Bonds, worth $50 million, to institutional investor EVO FUND. The bond features a zero (0%) interest rate and accrues to November 27, 2025. This issuance is driven by the need to increase its Bitcoin reserves, and the money from this issuance will go directly into such reserves.
Bond financing remains the company’s choice for its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. This shows confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. Metaplanet’s stock has figured among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year, as investors have poured more exposure into it.
It has positioned itself as a Bitcoin-focused treasury company. Its recent commitment to Bitcoin accumulation is strengthened. Now, market participants consider Metaplanet as a strategic off-ramp into Bitcoin exposure.
Metaplanet’s Holdings Rise to 7,800 BTC After Latest Purchase
Metaplanet bought 1,004 Bitcoin for approximately $104 3 million on May 19. In total, that means it now holds 7,800 BTC, worth more than $850 million. The company now holds more BTC than El Salvador, whose reserves came in at 6,189.18 BTC.
Both institutional and retail investors have noticed Metaplanet’s strategy. In recent weeks, the stock price has surged as investors expect more Bitcoin acquisitions. The company’s aggressive approach has also taken other firms in Japan by storm.
All eyes in Japan are trained on Metaplanet. While Japan continues to struggle, the firm’s strategy has been transparent and has built on that strength. Metaplanet has become many people’s benchmark for how a company should allocate Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy Still Leads, but Metaplanet Advances Its BTC Strategy
‘Metaplanet, with 7,800 BTC, is the second largest to Strategy, which holds 580,250 BTC.’ The company added 4,020 BTC at an average price of $106,237, according to data from U.S.-based firm CoinDesk. Strategy secured a total of $427.1 million in this purchase, another seal in the envelope of the ongoing march under the dominion of Strategy.
Yet Metaplanet is doing the very same, but through more structured financing. During Q1 2025, it realized 87 percent of a ¥116 billion equity programme. According to the city, this is the first such initiative of its kind in Japan, and it was also the lowest cost, and it may strike Westerners as particularly lowball.
At the moment, Bitcoin is valued at $109,005 and gains 1.47% daily. According to Metaplanet, Bitcoin remains a long-term hedge against inflation.
