🚨 MetaplanetBTCPurchase — Japan’s new Bitcoin treasury powerhouse 🚨
📌 What’s happening?
Metaplanet Inc. issued $210 M in zero-coupon bonds to buy an extra 1,112 BTC, raising its total holdings to 10,000 BTC (~$1 billion) (coindesk.com, rootdata.com, mlq.ai).
They've now overtaken Coinbase and aim for 210,000 BTC by end‑2027—that's nearly 1 % of Bitcoin's max supply (tradingview.com).
🔍 Key Highlights
Zero-interest bonds (maturing Dec 12, 2025), issued to EVO Fund to fuel transparent BTC accumulation (thedefiant.io).
Average buy-in of ~$105.4K/BTC, with stock price jumping +30 % after announcement (cryptorank.io).
“BTC Yield” soared ~87 % Q2‑2025, reflecting how much BTC per share they've gained (cryptopotato.com).
Gaining Michael Saylor’s approval, with high-profile endorsement adding credibility (bitcoinist.com).
⚖️ Why this matters
Institutional innovation: Using corporate bonds to fund crypto is a growing model beyond just equity issuance.
Aggressive treasury strategy: Echoes MicroStrategy’s blueprint, but in Japanese capital markets.
High conviction equals high risk: Bond holders depend entirely on BTC’s appreciation—no coupons.
Macro & financial exposure: As BTC drops, leverage can pressure both Metaplanet’s equity and bond value (ainvest.com, bitget.com, bitcoinist.com).
🎯 Questions for you:
Is this a smart inflation hedge or a risky debt‑driven crypto play?
Can Metaplanet sustain this & hit the 210 k BTC target, or is performance tied too tight to volatile BTC prices?
Should we expect other firms — especially in Asia — to follow suit with crypto‑backed bonds?
