Metaplanet, an investment company from Japan, has placed 2 billion yen ($13.6 million) of 0% ordinary bonds on offer to use as funding to acquire more Bitcoins in its strategic endeavor to grow its Bitcoin reserve. The face-amount-redeemable 0% bonds, dated 26th of August, 2025, provide the holder of the bond, EVO FUND, with an opportunity for premature redemption. This bond offering supports Metaplanet’s aggressive target of collecting a minimum of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.
Even with the aggressive buying of Bitcoin by the company, Metaplanet shares have plummeted in the last week by close to 25%, a sign of wider market volatility in the cryptocurrency space. Since it began accumulating its Bitcoin in May 2024, however, the stock of the company has seen a dramatic run-up, increasing from 200 yen to more than 6,650 yen during early 2025 before correcting.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Yield, or holdings of Bitcoin per share, exhibited unprecedented growth in Q4 2024 but slowed in early 2025 as a result of enhanced share issuance. The company has spent considerable financial capital on buying Bitcoins, with combined investments amounting to more than $700 million, marking its serious intention to position itself as a leading firm in the corporate investment world of Bitcoin.
