Metaplanet Expands Its Bitcoin Portfolio
Japan-based investment firm Metaplanet announced it has issued zero-interest bonds worth $50 million to increase its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings. These bonds, each valued at $1.25 million, were fully purchased by Evo Fund, based in the Cayman Islands. The notable feature of these bonds is that they carry zero interest. This means investors expect potential gains at maturity rather than regular returns. According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin investments have increased in value by approximately 20%.
A New Era in Institutional Bitcoin Adoption
This move by Metaplanet demonstrates the company’s commitment to Bitcoin. Previously, the company raised its total Bitcoin holdings to 7,800 BTC by purchasing 1,004 BTC, maintaining its leadership in the sector. Simon Gerovich, CEO of the Japanese investment firm, stated, “Another $50 million worth of BTC is coming.”
Meanwhile, Metaplanet stated:
“In line with this belief, we reshaped our strategy to become Japan’s first private Bitcoin Treasury Company in 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, we launched a two-year ¥116 billion ‘moving strike’ collateral program. So far, we have implemented 87% of this program. This program is the largest and lowest-cost equity financing ever executed in Japan,” the company said.
The company aims to expand its Bitcoin (BTC) investments not only in Japan but also globally. Through a new subsidiary established in Florida, Metaplanet plans a $250 million capital increase. With this move, the company seeks to increase its liquidity access in the US market. It continues to secure a strategic position in both local and global crypto finance markets. The company targets an annual Bitcoin return of 232% for 2025, with planned returns of 35% in the third and fourth quarters.
