Metaplanet is going all in on Bitcoin, and every move it makes is building toward that goal. The Tokyo-based tech investment firm has just raised ¥3.6 billion, which is currently around $23–25 million, through its 12th bond issue, and the money is already earmarked for buying more BTC.
These aren’t typical bonds. They’re non-interest-bearing, set to mature by October 31, 2025, and may even be redeemed early if Metaplanet raises enough through stock acquisition rights. The structure may seem plain, but it fits perfectly with the company’s larger strategy: keep debt low while stacking more Bitcoin.
This financial maneuver wasn’t made in isolation. It came just one day after Metaplanet revealed a major expansion move, which is the launch of a U.S. subsidiary in Florida, backed by $250 million in capital. That’s not just a side project; it’s a way to access deeper capital markets and supercharge their Bitcoin accumulation globally.
Bitcoin Goal: 10,000 by 2025
The new Florida entity is expected to buy up to 2,777 BTC, showing just how serious Metaplanet is about hitting its long-term target. That target? 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. As of now, the company already holds over 5,000 BTC, after purchasing 145 coins in April alone. At current prices near $97,000, the latest bond could add another 250 BTC to their stack.
All of these steps are closely linked, forming a coordinated playbook that mirrors MicroStrategy’s approach, but with a Japanese twist. Like MicroStrategy, Metaplanet is turning traditional financial tools into fuel for a high-conviction digital asset strategy. That’s why people are already calling it "Asia’s MicroStrategy."
To support this rapid growth, Metaplanet is also building a strong network of influence. It has expanded its Strategic Board of Advisors, recently adding David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, and Eric Trump. These additions signal a push not just into new markets, but also into the public eye, especially ahead of events like the upcoming Bitcoin for Corporations conference in Orlando, hosted by MicroStrategy.
Market Loves It
This wave of activity is also showing up in the markets. Metaplanet’s stock surged nearly 20% over the past week, climbing to 428 JPY. The rally is powered not just by Bitcoin’s price, but by growing investor confidence in the company’s aggressive and well-timed strategy.
Even with Bitcoin trading near its all-time high, Metaplanet isn’t hesitating. Its average BTC purchase price is already over $85,000, showing that this isn’t about short-term gains, it’s a long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Corporate Bitcoin Fever Grows
The company’s bold approach is also part of a bigger trend. In just a few weeks, the number of corporate entities holding Bitcoin has jumped from 92 to 101, with total corporate holdings now over 3.26 million BTC. As this space grows, more companies are holding tight, and few are even moving their coins.
Metaplanet may only rank 11th among corporate BTC holders, but it’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about players, thanks to its fast pace, strong media presence, and steady stream of bold decisions.
Every move by the company, from bond issuance to U.S. expansion, from advisor hires to BTC accumulation, is connected by one clear vision: turning Metaplanet into one of the world’s biggest corporate Bitcoin holders. If Bitcoin continues its climb, this strategy could pay off in a big way—and Metaplanet might just lead the next wave of institutional adoption.
