Metaplanet goes big: Aiming to own 1% of global Bitcoin before 2027

#metaplanet – a publicly listed software company in Japan, likened to 'Asia's MicroStrategy' – has just announced a plan to raise $5.4 billion to accumulate 210,000 BTC, equivalent to 1% of the total global Bitcoin supply, before 2027.

This is the largest stock purchase rights issuance in Japan's history, with 555 million warrants to be implemented over 5 years. Notably, 96% of the capital will be used to buy Bitcoin, while the remaining portion will serve to pay off debt and generate cash flow through strategies such as selling BTC put options.

Metaplanet currently holds 8,888 $BTC , worth approximately $920 million, ranking 7th globally. Since March 2025, the company has had 13 consecutive weeks of purchasing Bitcoin, especially accelerating when BTC peaked near $112,000 on May 22.

This plan is fully backed by EVO FUND, an investment fund in the Cayman Islands – also a previous strategic partner. The company is committed to protecting shareholder interests through anti-dilution mechanisms like floor pricing and conversion halts.

In Q1/2025, Metaplanet reported the highest revenue in 20 years, reaching $6 million, mainly from Bitcoin option fee collection. The stock price has risen 275% since the beginning of the year, reflecting strong support from investors. #anhbacong
