Metaplanet, a publicly traded Japanese company, has publicized its plan to issue ¥3.6 billion (approximately $24.7 million) in regular bonds to enhance its investment in Bitcoin (BTC).

The company is strategically looking to obtain 10,000 Bitcoins by the conclusion of the current year. The Board of Directors of Metaplanet endorsed this decision on May 2, 2025. The 12th series of standard bonds will be provided to EVO FUND, with each bond possessing a nominal value of ¥90 million.

These bonds will not bear any interest and will mature on October 31, 2025, with a redemption value of ¥100 per ¥100 of face value. Proceeds from the bond issuance will be utilized for the purchase of Bitcoin, as stated by the company.

Earlier, in March 18, Metaplanet issued ¥2 billion (approximately $13.4 million) in bonds for the same purpose. In addition to this, to enhance its presence in the global Bitcoin market and drive usage, the company established a Strategic Board of Advisors in the same month. It's worth noting that Eric Trump was appointed as the initial member by the Japanese firm.

Moreover, the company acquired 319 BTC in mid-April for about $26.3 million, solidifying its position as the 11th largest corporate holder of Bitcoin according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.

Currently, Metaplanet owns 5,000 BTC, reaching halfway toward its target for 2025, valued at $484.2 million, with an average buying cost of $85,558 per BTC, marking a profit of +13.1%.

Since initiating Bitcoin purchases in 2024, the company's stock, 3350.T, has seen substantial growth. According to Yahoo Finance, the stock has surged by 1428.5% over the past year, with a remarkable year-to-date performance showing gains of 22.9%.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-focused strategy aligns with Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the largest corporate Bitcoin investor. BeInCrypto stated that Strategy is also intensifying its Bitcoin initiatives, earmarking $42 billion in equity and another $42 billion in fixed income to expand its BTC portfolio.

The company aims for a 25% return and targets a Bitcoin profit of $15 billion by the close of 2025, signaling a robust drive in augmenting its Bitcoin holdings.
