Metaplanet’s Bold Bitcoin Bet: Another $13.35 Million Added to Treasury
A Strategic Move to Strengthen Bitcoin Holdings
Metaplanet, a Japanese Bitcoin treasury powerhouse, is making waves again. The firm has issued another 2 billion Japanese yen ($13.35 million) in bonds to further expand its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings. This latest issuance marks the seventh time the company has taken this route to bolster its digital asset reserves since its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy began in May 2024.

The newly issued bonds, which carry a 0% interest rate, will be fully redeemable on August 26, 2025. The proceeds will be directed to Evo Fund, Metaplanet’s dedicated Bitcoin acquisition fund—a clear indication that the company is all-in on Bitcoin as a long-term strategy.
A Relentless Bitcoin Buying Streak
Metaplanet isn’t just dabbling in Bitcoin—it’s fully committed. Since May 13, 2024, the company has steadily accumulated 2,235 BTC, valued at roughly $192.4 million.
The most notable purchase? A massive 619.7 BTC acquisition on December 20, 2024, reinforcing Metaplanet’s dedication to its growing Bitcoin treasury.

The company initially started as a traditional Japanese business in 1999 and has been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange since. However, its stock performance had been stagnant for years—until Bitcoin entered the picture.
Bitcoin Fuels Metaplanet’s Explosive Stock Growth
Metaplanet’s commitment to Bitcoin has already paid dividends, at least in terms of stock performance. Since beginning its accumulation strategy, its stock price skyrocketed from a meager 200 yen to a jaw-dropping 6,650 yen in early 2025—an astonishing 3,225% increase within a year.

Despite pulling back to around 4,000 yen, the company remains laser-focused on its ambitious Bitcoin roadmap. It has announced plans to acquire 10,000 BTC by Q4 2025 and aims to hold 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026—investments that would be valued at approximately $2 billion at current market rates.
Following in MicroStrategy’s Footsteps?
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy strongly resembles that of MicroStrategy, the U.S.-based business intelligence firm that pioneered corporate Bitcoin investing under its co-founder Michael Saylor.
With each new Bitcoin purchase, Metaplanet cements itself as a major institutional player in the Bitcoin world, proving that the legacy financial system is evolving faster than ever.
Could we be witnessing Japan’s very own MicroStrategy in the making? Only time will tell—but Metaplanet’s moves indicate that it’s betting big on Bitcoin as the future of corporate finance.
