Japan's Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings with $50 Million Bond Issuance
Tokyo's Metaplanet has initiated a significant $50 million bond issuance to expand its Bitcoin portfolio.
This move marks the latest step in the company's ongoing strategy to accumulate Bitcoin aggressively.
The bonds, which carry zero interest, have been fully acquired by Cayman Islands-based Evo Fund, a key institutional partner.
Metaplanet's share price experienced a notable increase of 9.5% in response to the announcement on the Japanese stock exchange.
As of now, the company aims to amass a total of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, having already reached 7,800 BTC.
In just the previous week, Metaplanet added 1,004 BTC to its holdings for approximately $104 million.
The timing of this funding move coincides with Bitcoin trading close to its all-time highs, having recently peaked at $111,889.
Investors are closely monitoring Metaplanet's activities, which draw comparisons to MicroStrategy's aggressive Bitcoin investment approach.
Interestingly, Metaplanet holds the title of the largest Bitcoin holder among public companies in Asia and ranks 11th worldwide.
This relentless pursuit of Bitcoin by Metaplanet highlights the growing trend of institutional interest in cryptocurrencies, especially in Japan.
