Metaplanet settles nearly all debt and buys more Bitcoin
On June 24, 2025, the Japanese Bitcoin investment company Metaplanet completed early repayment of three bond tranches (tranche 16, 17, and 18) with a total value of 281 million USD.
Metaplanet's financial strategy
To achieve this, 42982111439 issued additional new shares, resulting in a 9% dilution of existing shares. Although this may slightly reduce the value of existing shares in the short term, the company raised 500 million USD from this issuance, demonstrating strong interest from large institutions or investment funds.
The raised funds have been used to pay off nearly all of the debt, helping the company eliminate debt and strengthen its balance sheet. This move was positively received by the market; despite the dilution of shares, Metaplanet's stock price has increased by 368% since the beginning of the year, indicating that investors appreciate this long-term strategy.
After settling the debt, Metaplanet continued to buy more Bitcoin, increasing the amount held to about 20%. This suggests that the company may repeat this strategy in the future: raising capital, paying off debt, and then investing in Bitcoin.
Just as central banks can print money, companies can also issue additional shares to raise capital, especially when they have a clear and market-accepted strategy.
