Metaplanet Inc., often dubbed the “Asian MicroStrategy,” has announced its fourth series of ordinary bonds valued at ¥4.5 billion ($30 million). The funds raised will once again be directed toward acquiring more Bitcoin (BTC) as part of the company’s ongoing investment strategy.

Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy Continues

Metaplanet has been consistently purchasing Bitcoin for the past eight months, leveraging low-interest borrowing to expand its holdings. The latest bonds, set at an annual interest rate of 0%, are expected to mature on June 16, 2025. Profits from previously issued warrants will be used to redeem the bonds upon maturity.

The company has outlined plans to issue additional bonds in the future, aiming for a total of ¥5 billion in private placement bonds. This strategy mirrors MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment playbook, further solidifying Metaplanet's position as Japan’s leading corporate Bitcoin holder.

Meanwhile, U.S.-based MicroStrategy recently bolstered its Bitcoin holdings, acquiring 15,350 BTC for $1.5 billion at an average price of $100,386 per Bitcoin. MicroStrategy now owns 439,000 BTC, maintaining its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder.

Metaplanet’s aggressive bond strategy highlights its confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value and its growing appeal as a corporate treasury asset. As institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to rise globally, Metaplanet is positioning itself to lead Japan’s crypto adoption wave.
