\nMetaplanet Raises $255 Million, Eyes $531 Million Bitcoin Buying Spree<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Tokyo-listed investment firm Metaplanet<\/a> has secured approximately $255 million from global institutional investors as it accelerates a corporate strategy centered on accumulating Bitcoin, with additional warrants that could lift total funding to roughly $531 million.<\/p>\n

The capital<\/a> was raised through a placement of new shares priced at 380 yen ($2.39) each, representing a small premium to the market price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The financing package also includes fixed-strike warrants exercisable at 410 yen ($2.57) per share, which carry a 10% premium to the placement price and could generate an additional $276 million if fully exercised before their March 2028 expiration, according<\/a> to CEO Simon Gerovich.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fundraising effort forms part of the company\u2019s broader push to expand its bitcoin treasury. Metaplanet said<\/a> it intends to allocate up to 56.9 billion yen, or about $357 million, toward purchasing additional bitcoin between April 2026 and March 2028.<\/p>\n

The firm currently holds 35,102 BTC, valued at roughly $2.6 billion at recent market prices. The holdings place Metaplanet among the largest corporate bitcoin treasuries globally, though still well behind industry leaders such as Strategy and MARA Holdings.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s aggressive bitcoin plans<\/h2>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s management has outlined aggressive accumulation targets. The company aims<\/a> to increase its holdings to 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, part of a strategy to position bitcoin as the centerpiece of its balance sheet and long-term capital structure.<\/p>\n

Beyond the share placement and fixed-price warrants, the company\u2019s board also authorized the issuance of 100 million new \u201cMS Warrants.\u201d<\/p>\n

These instruments are tied to the company\u2019s modified net asset value, or mNAV, a metric comparing the firm\u2019s market capitalization with the value of its bitcoin holdings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mechanism allows warrants to be exercised only when Metaplanet\u2019s shares trade above a specified multiple of that metric, a structure designed to ensure any new equity issuance increases bitcoin holdings on a per-share basis.<\/p>\n

The company also suspended the exercise of older warrants representing up to 210 million shares, a move intended to limit dilution and prioritize the new financing structure tied more directly to its bitcoin treasury strategy.<\/p>\n

Not all of the newly raised capital will go toward bitcoin purchases. According to company disclosures, about 21.1 billion yen ($132 million) will be used to repay borrowings under Metaplanet\u2019s credit facility, while roughly 6.3 billion yen ($39.5 million) will be allocated to support its bitcoin income generation business, including margin collateral for options underwriting.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet currently maintains a $500 million credit facility backed by bitcoin collateral, with approximately $280 million drawn as of March 11. The company has said it aims to keep borrowings below 10% of the net asset value of its bitcoin holdings to maintain financial flexibility.<\/p>\n

Shares of Metaplanet rose nearly 5% Monday as bitcoin climbed above $73,000, reflecting investor interest in companies adopting treasury strategies tied directly to the digital asset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The firm has rapidly expanded its holdings over the past year, increasing from fewer than 2,000 BTC at the start of 2025 to more than 35,000 BTC today.<\/p>\n

Last week, the company announced<\/a> plans to expand beyond holding bitcoin by launching two subsidiaries\u2014Metaplanet Ventures and Metaplanet Asset Management\u2014and disclosed a planned investment in Japanese stablecoin issuer JPYC Inc.<\/p>\n

The company said Metaplanet Ventures would deploy about \u00a54 billion ($25 million) over the coming years to back startups building bitcoin financial infrastructure in Japan, including lending, payments, custody, derivatives and compliance tools.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near $74,000. <\/p>\n

Earlier today, Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, bought<\/a> 22,337 more bitcoin for $1.57 billion, raising its total holdings to 761,068 BTC. The average acquisition cost is $75,696 per coin, giving the holdings a current market value of about $50 billion.<\/p>\n
