Metaplanet Issues $25M Bond to Fuel Next Bitcoin Buy

Michael Taylor08 May, 2025Business

Metaplanet is going all in on Bitcoin, and every move it makes is building toward that goal. The Tokyo-based tech investment firm has just raised ¥3.6 billion, which is currently around $23–25 million, through its 12th bond issue, and the money is already earmarked for buying more BTC. These aren’t typical bonds. They’re non-interest-bearing, set to mature by October 31, 2025, and may even be redeemed early if Metaplanet raises enough through stock acquisition rights. The structure may seem plain, but it fits perfectly with the company’s larger strategy: keep debt low while stacking more Bitcoin. This financial maneuver wasn’t made in isolation. It came just one day after Metaplanet revealed a major expansion move, which is the launch of a U.S. subsidiary in Florida, backed by $250 million in capital. That’s not just a side project; it’s a way to access deeper capital markets and supercharge their Bitcoin accumulation globally.
