A New Move to Acquire More Bitcoin from Japanese Investment Company Metaplanet! Here are the Details

The Japanese investment company Metaplanet announced a significant capital increase of 770.9 billion Yen, which amounts to 5.4 billion dollars, (, a bold step aimed at significantly expanding Bitcoin assets and increasingly adopting digital assets in Japan.

Metaplanet Initiated a Historical Bitcoin-Focused Stock Increase of 770.9 Billion Yen, Targeting 1% of Total BTC Supply by 2027

Capital will be increased through the issuance of 555 million shares via moving strike warrants, a financial instrument rarely seen in the Japanese market.

Especially Metaplanet became the first company in Japan to issue such warrants at a premium higher than the current market price, signaling strong confidence in the long-term Bitcoin strategy.

This ambitious increase is also in line with Metaplanet's newly announced goals: to acquire 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. If these targets are achieved, the company will be able to control 1% of Bitcoin's total final supply, which is capped at 21 million coins.

The company's aggressive Bitcoin purchasing plan follows the increasing global trend of public companies adding digital assets to their balance sheets as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, as well as for diversifying their reserves.

Metaplanet's move also positions Japan more prominently on the global Bitcoin investment map in an environment where institutional interest in digital assets is increasing in Asia.

More details regarding the warrant structure and the purchasing roadmap are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
