Japan’s MicroStrategy Metaplanet has announced the successful issuance of 0% unsecured bonds, which resulted in a financing of 4 billion Japanese Yen. The company stated it would allocate the entire amount to acquiring additional Bitcoins.

Metaplanet Announces a Bitcoin Investment Plan of JPY 116.3 Billion
Metaplanet Inc. has announced its intention to allocate JPY 107.3 billion ($717 million) for Bitcoin purchases through February 2027 and an additional JPY 5 billion for Bitcoin income generation business through December 2025. Additionally, the organization has disclosed its intention to acquire 21,000 BTC in Bitcoin by the conclusion of 2026.
The announcement follows the company’s JPY 4 billion bond issuance to EVO FUND. The company currently possesses 1,761.98 BTC, estimated to be worth JPY 27.9 billion. The funding modification includes JPY 4 billion for the bond redemption scheduled for August 2025, which will be secured through new stock acquisition rights.
Metaplanet attributes its Bitcoin adoption strategy to Japan’s economic challenges, which include yen depreciation, negative interest rates, and excessive debt. The company regards Bitcoin as a principal reserve asset that serves as a hedge against inflation and the devaluation of the Yen.
Additionally, the organization has established a goal of 35% quarter-over-quarter development for 2025, which indicates a more aggressive approach to yield generation in the months ahead.
Entering the MSCI Japan Index
Since implementing the Bitcoin strategy and including BTC in its balance sheet, Metaplanet’s stock has experienced an unprecedented 4000% increase. On Wednesday, the stock price reached a new all-time high of 7,020 JPY, a move that Michael Saylor of Microstrategy lauded.
Simon Gerovich, the company’s CEO, declared that its stock would be included in the esteemed MSCI Japan Index as of February 28, 2025. Tracking large and mid-cap equities in Japan, the MSCI Japan Index is one of the world’s most prominent stock market indices.
Metaplanet’s stock will now be included in numerous funds and ETFs that monitor MSCI indexes, which is expected to increase visibility and exposure to institutional investors. Metaplanet may experience an increase in demand for its shares due to the potential for passive inflows.
Gerovich stated that the inclusion is a substantial endorsement of the company’s expansion and its advancement in implementing its Bitcoin strategy.
