#MetaplanetBTCPurchase Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings with Additional ¥5 Billion Investment

On August 13, 2024, Japanese publicly traded company Metaplanet Inc. announced an additional purchase of Bitcoin (BTC) valued at ¥500 million (approximately $3.38 million). This acquisition follows a previous announcement on August 8, where Metaplanet disclosed securing a ¥1 billion loan with a 0.1% annual interest rate, intended for further Bitcoin acquisitions. 

Metaplanet’s strategic approach involves raising capital through bond issuances and loans to fund its Bitcoin purchases. For instance, the company has issued zero-interest bonds, such as a ¥4.5 billion bond set to mature on June 16, 2025, with proceeds allocated for Bitcoin acquisitions. This method allows Metaplanet to increase its Bitcoin reserves without liquidating existing assets, mirroring strategies employed by firms like MicroStrategy.  

As of April 14, 2025, Metaplanet has accumulated a total of 4,525 BTC, positioning itself as a significant corporate holder of Bitcoin in Asia. The company’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy reflects its confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term value and its role as a hedge against traditional financial risks. 

Note: Cryptocurrency investments carry inherent risks. Investors should conduct thorough research and consider their risk tolerance before making investment decisions.
