Metaplanet, a publicly traded Japanese firm, has unveiled an unprecedented Bitcoin-focused equity financing initiative valued at approximately 770.9 billion yen (around $5.4 billion). This strategic move involves the issuance of 5.55 billion new shares via floating strike price warrants, leveraging the company’s notable stock price volatility and robust market liquidity to optimize capital inflow.
The capital raised will underpin Metaplanet’s ambitious cryptocurrency accumulation strategy, targeting ownership of 100,000 BTC by 2026. The firm further projects an increase to 210,000 Bitcoins by 2027, representing a significant 1% of the total Bitcoin supply. This positions Metaplanet as a major institutional player in the digital asset space, reflecting growing corporate confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value proposition.
