- Metaplanet issued zero-interest bonds to raise funds for Bitcoin purchases and set redemption for September 2025.
- The company plans to expand its Bitcoin holdings to 10000 BTC by 2025 and 21000 BTC by 2026 through bond issuances.
- Metaplanet stock dropped over 9% as Japan’s stock market fell four percent due to economic uncertainties.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has announced the issuance of its 10th series of Ordinary Bonds. The company aims to raise $13.3 million from the offering and use the proceeds to increase its Bitcoin reserves. The bonds will carry a 0% interest rate and are priced at approximately $333,194.50 per unit. Investors can redeem them at full face value by September 30, 2025.
Metaplanet confirmed that early redemption is possible. The process depends on proceeds from stock acquisition rights (series 14–17) reaching multiples of $333,194.50. Bondholder EVO FUND must submit a request at least one day before early redemption approval. The entire bond issuance has been allocated to EVO FUND, showing growing institutional interest in Bitcoin as an asset.
The company stated that these bonds are unsecured and lack collateral. According to Japan’s Companies Act (Article 702), no bond administrator will be appointed. Metaplanet also noted minimal expected financial impact from the issuance. However, it will inform shareholders if significant changes arise.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy
Metaplanet continues expanding its Bitcoin holdings as part of its long-term strategy. Earlier this year, CEO Simon Gerovich set a goal of acquiring 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026. The firm has increased its acquisitions through bond issuances to meet these targets.
In March alone, the company raised $13.3 million through three separate bond offerings. Additionally, it completed five Bitcoin purchases within the same month. Metaplanet currently holds 3,350 BTC, meaning it must secure an additional 6,650 BTC to reach its 2025 objective.
Market Reaction and Bitcoin Price Trends
Metaplanet’s CEO declared the firm would take advantage of current market conditions following its bond issuance. The Bitcoin market has shown negative trends recently as its price declined by 1% to settle around $82,100 during the last 24 hours. Bitcoin’s market value dropped by 5.5% during the last seven days and recorded 4.7% losses throughout this month. The 24-hour trading volume of Bitcoin rose 3.9% to reach $17.69 billion despite its recent price decline.
Metaplanet has also joined the Betashares Crypto Innovators Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). The company currently holds the highest allocation ratio of 15.5%. Betashares, an Australian investment firm, manages over $50 billion in assets. The move highlights Metaplanet’s efforts to strengthen institutional involvement in Bitcoin investment strategies.
Despite these developments, Metaplanet’s stock price fell over 9%, dropping below 400 JPY levels. The decline occurred alongside a broader 4% drop in Japan’s stock market as investors prepared for upcoming economic uncertainties.
