Metaplanet’s stock price recorded a sharp rise today following the company’s announcement of a new Bitcoin acquisition. The Tokyo-based firm revealed plans to raise $25 million through its 13th Series of Ordinary Bonds, with the proceeds allocated for additional Bitcoin purchases. This move sent Metaplanet shares soaring 12%, pushing the weekly gain to 41%. Investors responded positively to the company’s continued alignment with Bitcoin-focused treasury strategies.
Bond Strategy Fuels Bitcoin Holdings Expansion
The firm, often referred to as Japan’s version of MicroStrategy, confirmed the acquisition of 555 BTC at an average price of $96,134. Moreover, the latest purchase has increased its total Bitcoin holdings to 5,555 BTC. The total value of this Bitcoin accumulation stands at roughly $481.5 million, while the average acquisition cost per Bitcoin amounts to $86,672. The firm’s Bitcoin strategy shows a commitment to retaining 10,000 BTC until the year 2026.
Metaplanet stated that the raised funds would be channeled directly into Bitcoin acquisitions through its EVO FUND. The bonds will carry a 0% interest rate, with redemptions to be funded using proceeds from previously issued Stock Acquisition Rights.
Metaplanet Expands Globally Amid Aggressive Bitcoin Strategy
This financing approach allows the firm to expand its Bitcoin holdings without immediate capital strain. CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that the company remains focused on strategic accumulation to enhance its treasury position.
In addition to bolstering its Bitcoin reserves, Metaplanet is expanding its presence internationally. The firm opened a new office in Miami last week to strengthen its global footprint. This move aligns with its broader objective to participate in international digital asset markets. The company’s stock, trading near 500 JPY, has climbed 33% since the beginning of 2025, driven by consistent Bitcoin purchases and investor confidence.
Bitcoin Price Strength Adds to Market Optimism
Bitcoin traded above $96,000 this day while demonstrating market strength due to new institutional investor interest. Bitcoin prices rallied after the United States and China reached an agreement to continue their trade discussions, which resulted in a more positive macroeconomic environment.
Bitcoin’s upward trend gained additional support through robust ETF inflows. Data from Santiment revealed that spot Bitcoin ETF inflows have reached $5.13 million over the past three weeks.
Notably, the BlackRock-managed IBIT ETF has led this trend with 16 consecutive days of net inflows. Market observers note that institutional demand continues to play a critical role in Bitcoin’s price stability.
This backdrop has encouraged companies like Metaplanet to maintain aggressive accumulation strategies. A potential surge past the $100,000 level is now the target of investors who anticipate this move will drive additional increases in Bitcoin as well as related stock values.
