- Metaplanet Expands Investments with Full Focus on Bitcoin
- Company accumulates 5.000 BTC and wants to reach 10.000
- US subsidiary strengthens access to Bitcoin market
Metaplanet, a Japanese Bitcoin-focused investment firm, has announced the issuance of 3,6 billion yen (about $24,7 million) of zero-interest bonds, reinforcing its cryptocurrency accumulation strategy. The transaction was carried out via EVO FUND, allowing the bonds to be redeemed at face value until October 31, 2025.
Since adopting Bitcoin as a strategic pillar in April 2024, Metaplanet has accumulated 5.000 BTC, valued at approximately $484 million. This represents 50% of the company’s goal of holding 10.000 BTC by the end of the year. Headquartered in Tokyo, Metaplanet ranks among the top ten corporate holders of Bitcoin, alongside Tesla and Michael Saylor’s Strategy.

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich highlighted in X the impressive performance of MTPLF shares listed on the US OTC market, which recorded record trading volume for four consecutive days.
“Our unrealized gains on Bitcoin now exceed 6 billion yen, which is more than 4 times our market value before we adopted the Bitcoin standard,” Gerovich said.
Metaplanet also announced the creation of a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States. The new unit, Metaplanet Treasury Corp., will be established later this month in Miami, Florida, a state recognized as a favorable environment for companies focused on the Bitcoin sector.
With this expansion, Metaplanet aims to increase access to institutional liquidity pools and improve cryptocurrency acquisition channels. The company also plans to raise up to $250 million to bolster its Bitcoin treasury strategy, starting with $10 million in capital.
Metaplanet shares closed up 10,4% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Friday, trading at 435 yen.
