Metaplanet to Raise ¥555 Billion for Bitcoin Investment After Buying 1,009 BTC — Total Holdings Reach 20,000 BTC

Japanese-listed Metaplanet has secured shareholder approval to raise up to 555 billion yen via a preferred stock issuance designated for investment in Bitcoin, a move intended to provide capital specifically for digital-asset acquisition under existing governance frameworks.

On September 1, Metaplanet executed an additional purchase of 1,009 BTC, bringing its disclosed holdings to 20,000 BTC, and reported the acquisition as part of its publicly reported balance-sheet allocation to cryptocurrency.

The approved preferred stock issuance together with the recent bitcoin purchase represents a material treasury allocation to Bitcoin, reflecting a quantified corporate approach to digital-asset exposure without commentary on future deployment or trading strategy.
