Metaplanet Inc., a Japanese-listed company, is deepening its commitment to Bitcoin with a fresh $10 million investment. This move further establishes Metaplanet as one of Asia’s boldest corporate players in the crypto industry. The company has issued zero-coupon, dollar-denominated bonds to EVO FUND to increase its Bitcoin holdings while avoiding any unnecessary financial strain.
The company has updated its logo to reflect its growing commitment to Bitcoin. The new logo represents Metaplanet’s goal of reaching 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, with each new acquisition building toward that target.
How far will the company go?
Metaplanet’s latest bond issuance, maturing on October 14, follows the structure of its earlier yen-based offerings but with a key upgrade: this time, the funding is in US dollars. CEO Simon Gerovich explained in a post on X that this shift helps the company avoid the high exchange fees that Japanese banks charge when converting yen to dollars for Bitcoin purchases.
By securing capital in USD from the start, Metaplanet sidesteps those fees and gains access to lower-priced Bitcoin on international markets. This results in a more cost-effective acquisition strategy, boosting shareholder value.
Metaplanet’s strategy is showing strong results. From January to March 2025, the company reported an impressive 95.6% Bitcoin yield. In the first two weeks of April, the yield was 6.5%, indicating continued growth even in a short time period.
Metaplanet is aggressively growing its Bitcoin reserves. Just days before this announcement, the company increased its stash by 319 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 4,525. Earlier this month, Metaplanet added 150 BTC, followed by another 156 BTC, as part of its goal to reach 21,000 BTC by 2026.
With Bitcoin currently priced around $83,000 – 25% below its all-time high of $109,000. Thus, this is considered an ideal time to buy and stack Bitcoin at lower prices.
Often called “Asia’s Strategy,” Metaplanet’s roadmap reflects the US firm’s Bitcoin-heavy model. While Strategy holds over 500,000 BTC, Metaplanet is catching up and already ranks 10th globally among public Bitcoin holders, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. With its stock reacting positively to Bitcoin buys, such as a 19% jump after a $44 million acquisition in March, the company appears to be gaining traction both financially and strategically.
Metaplanet is also expanding its global footprint. Earlier this year, the company began exploring the possibility of listing on the US stock market to attract international investors and increase its visibility. In addition, Metaplanet welcomed Eric Trump to its newly formed strategic advisory board, a move aimed at enhancing its influence in the global Bitcoin market.
With bold investments, growing credibility, and an expanding network, Metaplanet is quickly becoming a key player in the corporate crypto race.
As the company continues to build its Bitcoin reserves and make strategic moves, its rise in the global crypto ecosystem seems inevitable.
Metaplanet holds 4,525 BTC and aims to reach 10,000 by year-end.
As per Coinpedia’s BTC price prediction, 1 BTC could peak at $168k this year if the bullish sentiment sustains.
