Japanese investment company Metaplanet has announced a bold move to significantly increase its Bitcoin holdings. The firm aims to raise 555 billion yen (approximately $3.73 billion) through a new stock issuance as part of its long-term strategy to acquire 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.
A New Move From “Asia’s Strategy” – Metaplanet
Often referred to as “Asia’s Strategy”, Metaplanet made a public announcement on Friday confirming its intention to issue perpetual preferred shares to support its Bitcoin accumulation plan. The company emphasized that this initiative is a key component of its “Bitcoin Strategy.”
“The company intends to actively pursue equity financing as part of its ‘Bitcoin Strategy,’ which aims to acquire 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. The introduction of Bitcoin-backed preferred shares represents a pioneering step to fill a market gap.”
Corporate Accumulation on the Rise
This major financial move came just a day after it was reported that corporate crypto holdings have surpassed $100 billion in total value. Notably, Bitcoin accounts for $93 billion of that amount. The continued accumulation by companies like Metaplanet and Strategy, combined with expanding global money supply, suggests that Bitcoin price could rise above $132,000 by the end of 2025.
Strategy’s Parallel Effort
Strategy, which holds the title of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, is also pursuing similar capital-raising strategies. On July 22, the company introduced a new class of Bitcoin-backed stock, pegged at $100 per share, with an annualized dividend rate of 9%.
A New Macro Catalyst for Bitcoin May Be Approaching
While summer months are generally associated with lower market liquidity, a major macroeconomic catalyst for Bitcoin may be just around the corner—possibly as early as September.
According to a research report published Friday by Matrixport, attention in Washington is expected to shift to fiscal matters once Congress returns from its summer recess after Labor Day on September 2. The report highlights:
“Fiscal uncertainty has historically been a strong tailwind for hard assets, and Bitcoin is now at the center of this narrative.”
Despite the impact of US Crypto Week and ongoing corporate accumulation, Matrixport also pointed out that “the real macro driver may be hiding in plain sight.”
Interest Rate Outlook: High Probability of Status Quo
As of now, markets are pricing in a 60.8% probability that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates unchanged during the next FOMC meeting scheduled for September 17. This estimate is based on the latest data from CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.
