Tokyo-based Metaplanet is raising cash to fund its Bitcoin purchases via the issuance of ordinary bonds. The firm has raised 3.6 billion JPY (US$23 million) from the issuance, which it says it will deploy toward its BTC buying spree. Metaplanet Issues Ordinary Bonds To Power Bitcoin Purchases According to a disclosure on X, Metaplanet has issued 3.6 billion JPY ($23 million) in ordinary bonds to expand its Bitcoin cache. Per the statement, the raise has the consent of the Board of Directors, making it the 12th issuance of ordinary bonds for Metaplanet. The new bonds will not bear interest and will be redeemable at face value at the end of October 2025. With the processes for issuance complete, Metaplanet says the purpose of the fund raise is to purchase more Bitcoin. “The proceeds raised through this issuance will be allocated to the purchase of Bitcoin, in accordance with the stated use of funds,” read the statement. Metaplanet is on a red-hot streak for BTC accumulation, reaching the 5,000 Bitcoin mark after buying 145 BTC in late April. Rather than rest on its laurels, Metaplanet is scouring for cash to add more Bitcoin to its stash, turning to bond issuance for funding. At current prices, Metaplanet’s raise of $23 million can purchase around 250 BTC for the Tokyo-based company. Metaplanet has set a target of 10,000 BTC before the end of 2025, and an aggressive accumulation spree puts the firm on track to achieve its goal. Is The Company Positioning For Even Bigger Bitcoin Purchases MicroStrategy has its sights on increasing its Bitcoin holdings in the coming days, mirroring MicroStrategy’s moves. Early in the week, Metaplanet tapped David Bailey to join its Strategic Board of Advisors, teaming up with Eric Trump. The company followed up with the launch of a new US subsidiary, opting to set up shop in Florida. Metaplanet says the US launch will provide access to deeper institutional pools to power more Bitcoin purchases. Launched with a $250 million operating capital, the new US entity can purchase up to 2,777 BTC. Metaplanet and Microstrategy have gained over $5.1 billion from their combined Bitcoin treasury strategy in 2025. However, Metaplanet has raked in $200 million in paper gains from its Q1 BTC accumulation, stoking enthusiasm for bigger purchases. The gains follow the rise of Bitcoin price in recent days, with BTC inching toward $100K. Bitcoin has risen to $97K in a rally that saw the flagship coin climb by over 4% in the last seven days. Simultaneously, BTC futures open interest also remains bullish amid the price upswing, up over 8% to $67.70 billion. ✓ Share: Aliyu Pokima Aliyu Pokima is a seasoned cryptocurrency and emerging technologies journalist with a knack for covering needle-moving stories in the space.
