Oh, Japan. A land where robots serve you sushi, and now—thanks to a tax loophole—a countrywide Bitcoin fever has taken hold. Metaplanet, the Bitcoin investment firm that could, has soared to the top of Japan’s Nippon Individual Savings Account (NISA) program, pushing investors to pounce on Bitcoin with the same enthusiasm one reserves for Black Friday sales. But here’s the kicker—zero. Capital. Gains. Tax. Yes, you read that right. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. 🙌
Meanwhile, Bitcoin in Japan is having its own version of a glow-up, and Metaplanet is basking in the limelight. Their recent audacious $5.4 billion equity raise on June 6, 2025, aims to snap up a staggering 210,000 BTC by 2027. Talk about big dreams and bigger numbers. 💰
Metaplanet’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, may as well have invented the formula for “Get Rich Quick (But Legally).” He described the strategy as: “Bitcoin + zero tax + leverage = Japan’s ultimate Bitcoin proxy.” It’s a formula so sweet, investors are flocking faster than you can say “tax haven.” Why pay Japan’s brutal tax rates—up to 55% on crypto holdings—when you can buy Bitcoin in bulk without the government breathing down your neck? 😏
Simon, clearly riding the high of financial wizardry, took to X (formerly Twitter, but who’s counting?) to announce that the tax-free scheme is pulling Japanese investors in like moths to a flame. Metaplanet isn’t just playing the game; they’re writing the rulebook. 📈
Metaplanet was the #1 most bought stock last week via NISA accounts at SBI Securities, Japan’s largest online broker.
Japanese investors are using NISA, a tax free investment scheme, to get exposure to Bitcoin without paying capital gains tax.
Bitcoin + zero tax + leverage =…

But wait—there’s more. The NISA program was expanded in January 2024 to offer an 18 million yen tax-exempt limit per individual. That’s right, folks—18 million yen. Suddenly, Japan’s household savings, which totaled over a mind-boggling 2,115 trillion yen by June 2024, are being redirected toward assets like Metaplanet’s stock. Risky business, sure, but who doesn’t love a good gamble? 🎲
Simon’s not shy about boasting either. In a recent post, he dropped the bombshell: “Our last two deals total ¥887 billion ($6.2 billion), exceeding the combined total of all other top 30 equity issuances in Japan over the past year by nearly 8 times.” Talk about making waves. 🌊
While the NISA-driven frenzy aligns with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s “new capitalism” dream of boosting household wealth, let’s not kid ourselves—volatility risks are still lurking around the corner. Because as we all know, nothing says “stability” like a digital asset prone to price swings more erratic than your uncle at a family reunion. 🤷♂️
