Hello everyone, I am Potato 🥔～
Today I have some big news for everyone, a listed company in Japan is making big moves again!
This company is called Metaplanet, and it has directly announced that it will issue up to 555 million shares of stock, planning to raise about 130 billion yen (approximately 880 million USD).
What is the money for? The core goal is one — to buy Bitcoin! 💰⚡
Out of this, approximately 123.8 billion yen (837 million USD) will be used to hoard BTC, and another 6.5 billion yen (44 million USD) will be used for Bitcoin-related finance and operations.
Why do it this way? The reason is straightforward: the yen has been depreciating, and the company simply treats Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset, hedging against exchange rate risks on one hand, and betting on its long-term appreciation potential on the other. The official statement says they will continue to increase their holdings in September-October 2025, with the goal of combating inflation, preserving asset value, and making the company's market value look better. 📈
In simple terms, this operation is:
👉 "Don't shrink along with the yen, grow along with Bitcoin!"
