Metaplanet Secures $1.4 Billion to Upsize Bitcoin Holdings

by

Asia’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, Metaplanet, has just closed its latest international offering. Hold onto your hats, folks, because they’ve gone full throttle on this one. Originally planning to issue 180 million shares, they’ve upped the ante to a whopping 385 million. The result? A mind-boggling ¥205 billion (that’s $1.4 billion for those who aren’t fluent in yen) now headed into their Bitcoin vaults. They’re not just playing with fire; they’re throwing gasoline on it, all in the name of BTC.

Their game plan is clear: Metaplanet isn’t just looking to nibble at the Bitcoin market. They want to be the top corporate holder of the digital currency, and with this extra capital, they’re going to make that happen. Get ready for September and October, because they’re about to scoop up even more Bitcoin.

Metaplanet Aims for Top Bitcoin Corporate Holder Position

The financial giant from Japan just played its hand big time. The share offering was meant to be a modest 180 million, but they didn’t just stop there. Oh no, they bumped that up to 385 million. And guess what? They’re giving each share away at ¥553, nearly 10% off its current trading value. So, who wouldn’t want to buy in, right? It’s like a discount at a Bitcoin buffet.

Metaplanet’s stockpile of Bitcoin is about to get bigger. With these new funds, they’re going full throttle on their acquisitions in the next couple of months. It’s clear that this company is dead-set on not just joining the Bitcoin revolution – they want to lead it. All this, of course, is in the name of boosting their Bitcoin-related income. Yes, that includes options trading and other lucrative derivative shenanigans.

When will this be wrapped up, you ask? Well, mark your calendars: September 16, 2025, is when the shares will be paid. Investors won’t see them in their hands until September 17, though. But don’t worry, by the time the dust settles, Metaplanet’s shares will have ballooned from around 756 million to over 1.14 billion. Not bad for a day’s work, eh? And some are betting it’ll hit 1.5 billion. But don’t hold your breath just yet – that all depends on the subscriptions.

This whole saga is proof that investors are increasingly looking for long-term growth. Forget about short-term stock swings – they’re in it for the marathon, not the sprint. Metaplanet is shifting gears into hyperdrive, and they’re not looking back.

Metaplanet Is Nearly 30% Away From 2025 Bitcoin Holdings Target

If you’re sitting at home thinking Metaplanet is just another tech firm dabbling in Bitcoin, think again. The company’s strategy is drawing comparisons to MicroStrategy, or as they’re now calling themselves, “Strategy.” The U.S.-based firm has been hoarding Bitcoin for the last five years, and now Metaplanet wants in on that action.

Strategy just bought another 1,955 BTC, bringing their total to a jaw-dropping 638,460 BTC. They paid a cool $271 million for that stash, with each BTC costing $111,196. Meanwhile, Metaplanet is sitting at 20,136 BTC, not too shabby, but still short of its end-of-year goal. But don’t worry – they’ve set their sights on 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026. Bold? Absolutely. Impossible? Probably not.

In fact, they just added 136 BTC worth $15.2 million, coinciding with a 4% dip in their stock price. Timing is everything, right? Even with a market fluctuation, Metaplanet has pulled off a stellar 487% Bitcoin yield in 2025 alone. That’s more than just smart investing – it’s an art form.
