Japanese company Metaplanet, which specializes in Bitcoin investments, has gone farther in increasing its crypto holdings. Marking its most recent action in a strategic buying frenzy starting in May 2024, the company recently issued 2 billion yen ($13.4 million) in zero-interest bonds to support additional Bitcoin acquisitions.
Increasing Bitcoin Reserves
Metaplanet revealed on February 27 the issuing of forty regular bonds, worth fifty million yen. Set to mature on August 26, 2025, these bonds will be solely used for Bitcoin purchases, therefore supporting the company’s dedication to expand its digital asset portfolio.
The money from this bond sale will go to Evo Fund, a Metaplanet-sponsored focused Bitcoin acquisition project. Emphasizing its aggressive accumulation approach, this represents the eighth bond issue the corporation has done to raise its BTC reserves.
Constant Bitcoin Aggumulation
Metaplanet started its Bitcoin investment strategy in May 2024 and has kept steadily purchasing BTC since then. On December 20, 2024, the business made its most important buy securing 619.7 BTC in one transaction. Metaplanet has 2,235 BTC overall as of right now, valued at $192.4 million.
Effect on Supply Performance
Metaplanet was founded in 1999, however since 2013 its stock performance has been unassuming. Its turn toward Bitcoin investments, though, has sparked investor interest once more. Early 2025 saw the company’s stock rise impressively from 200 yen to 6,650 yen, a 3,225% increase. Shares still trade at levels much higher than they did before their Bitcoin-oriented approach, notwithstanding minor swings.
Comparisons to MicroStrategy, the American software company that pioneered significant Bitcoin treasury investments, have been made about Metaplanet’s approach. Metaplanet is using Bitcoin as a long-term asset to improve shareholder value and financial stability, same like its American equivalent.
Plans for Future Bitcoin Expansion
Metaplanet has set high targets for its Bitcoin purchases ahead. With a long-term aim of owning 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026, the corporation intends to gather 10,000 BTC by the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on present market values, this comes to about $2 billion in Bitcoin ownership.
Metaplanet is establishing itself as a major participant in the increasing institutional Bitcoin investment market by means of ongoing bond issuances and a clear emphasis on expanding its BTC holdings. The corporation stays dedicated to maximize Bitcoin’s long-term value as it implements its plan.
