Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet Inc has announced plans to boost its Bitcoin BTC $85 222 24h volatility: 3.4% Market cap: $1.69 T Vol. 24h: $25.57 B position by raising fresh capital through bond issuance.
According to the update, the organization is taking on more debt to increase its Bitcoin holdings. Notably, it considers it a strategic and deliberate opportunity to accumulate more BTC at current discounted prices.
In a public statement, Metaplanet’s board of directors approved the issuance of its 10th Series of Ordinary Bonds on March 31, 2025.
As detailed, the Japanese firm is raising ¥2 billion ($13.33 million) through this debt instrument, which carries no interest. In addition, the bonds will be fully redeemed by September 30, 2025.
The firm revealed that all of the raised funds have been allocated to EVO FUND. This will further strengthen Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation plans. This bond issuance is the latest development in a series of moves to increase Metaplanet’s Bitcoin.
For context, the company has been accumulating Bitcoin at a rapid pace. Just days before this announcement, on March 24, it added 150 BTC to its reserves. The purchase was made at an average price of ¥12.57 million ($80,000) per BTC, bringing the company’s total holdings to 3,350 Bitcoin.
Metaplanet first embraced Bitcoin as a core asset in 2024, seeing it as a long-term store of value. Since then, the company has spent approximately ¥42.22 billion ($270 million) on related acquisitions. Its goal is to amass 10,000 Bitcoin units by the end of 2025 and 21,000 Bitcoin by 2026.
The company is taking advantage of price fluctuations, using capital raised through bond issuances and stock-related instruments to build its reserves.
This BTC accumulation strategy has been immensely beneficial to Metaplanet. For example, the company has seen remarkable exploits in stock value and investor confidence.
In a recent update, Metaplanet’s shares shot up almost 8% after the company acquired a massive 162 BTC at an average price of $83,123 per Bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s pivot toward Bitcoin has increased its asset holdings and led to an extraordinary rise in its stock price.
Reports indicate that since Metaplanet started following Michael Saylor’s Strategy in aggressively purchasing Bitcoin, its share price has increased by over 3,000%. This increase reflects growing investor confidence in its long-term strategy.
In addition to expanding its Bitcoin reserves, Metaplanet has been making key leadership appointments. On March 21, 2025, Coinspeaker reported that Eric Trump, the second son of US President Donald Trump, joined Metaplanet’s board of advisers.
This move aligns with the company’s goal of strengthening its position as a leading institution that acquires Bitcoin as a treasury.
It is worth mentioning that with fresh capital from its latest bond issuance, a soaring stock price, and new leadership additions, Metaplanet is positioning itself as a major player in today’s evolving Bitcoin ecosystem.
