Japanese technology company MetaPlanet has unveiled plans to raise $1.4 billion to expand its Bitcoin investments. The firm will issue 385 million new shares in overseas markets at a price of 553 yen per share, generating approximately 212.9 billion yen ($1.4 billion) in funding.
Target: Bitcoin Purchases and Revenue Strategies
MetaPlanet stated that the majority of the proceeds will be allocated to buying Bitcoin and financing Bitcoin-based revenue strategies, with BTC options trading highlighted as one of its key initiatives.
The management explained:
“This move is part of a strategic shift against Japan’s high debt levels, prolonged negative real interest rates, and chronic yen depreciation.”
With the new issuance, the company’s total outstanding shares will rise to around 1.14 billion. As of September 1, 2025, MetaPlanet holds around 20,000 BTC, valued at approximately 3.22 trillion yen.
Fund Allocation Plan
- 7 billion yen for direct Bitcoin purchases
- 4 billion yen for Bitcoin revenue-generating activities
Why Does This Matter?
MetaPlanet’s strategy aims to adopt Bitcoin as a core reserve asset, protecting against inflation while enhancing long-term corporate value. This bold move underlines the company’s financial risk management and value-growth strategy in response to Japan’s challenging economic conditions.
