Metaplanet Issues $13.6 Million in Bonds to Buy More Bitcoin
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is taking a bold step in teh crypto world. The company has issued $13.6 million in 0% interest bonds to fund the purchase of additional Bitcoin. This move is part of MetaplanetS strategy to expand its digital asset holdings.
The bonds, worth 2 billion JPY, will be issued to EVO FUND. They will mature on August 26, but EVO FUND can request early redemption at any time, provided they give at least one business day’s notice.The redemption funds will come from the proceeds of Metaplanet’s 13th to 17th Series of Stock Acquisition Rights.
Metaplanet’s shares have fallen by nearly 25% recently, mirroring the decline in crypto prices. However, the firm remains committed to its Bitcoin strategy. Just two days ago, Metaplanet added 135 BTC to its treasury, solidifying its position as one of Japan’s leading corporate Bitcoin investors.
Metaplanet’s approach mirrors that of Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, which holds the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury. Since launching its Bitcoin Treasury Operations,Metaplanet’s BTC Yield grew by 309.8% in Q4 2024. Though,this growth slowed to 23.2% in early 2025 as the firm increased its share count.
Despite the recent market downturn, Metaplanet’s commitment to Bitcoin shows the growing acceptance of digital assets in corporate strategies.This move could set a precedent for other companies looking to diversify their investments into crypto.
