Metaplanet wants to raise $ 3.7 billion to buy bitcoin

The Japanese Metaplanet firm moves up a gear. It plans to issue up to $ 3.7 billion in actions to finance a massive BTC accumulation strategy. A bold approach, directly inspired by the Strategy model (ex-microstrategy), which erects bitcoin in central pillar of its financial doctrine.

New Metaplanet plan, $ 3.7 billion for bitcoin

Metaplanet formalized its project on Friday to raise up to 555 billion yen, or around $ 3.7 billion, through a program of perpetual preferential actions.

This operation will be able to escape between August 9, 2025 and August 8, 2027, depending on market conditions, leaving the company the flexibility necessary to adjust its levies according to the economic situation.

The objective is clear: considerably strengthen its reserves in Bitcoin in order to reach 210,000 BTC by due date.

This plan marks a net strategic turning point. Last June, Metaplanet was already targeting 100,000 bitcoins by the end of 2026 – an objective already deemed ambitious. A few weeks later, the company noted this target spectacularly.

To date, the company has 17,132 BTC, the last 780 of which were acquired on July 28. So he has almost 193,000 units to accumulate to reach his target.

To finance this project, Metaplanet plans to issue two distinct types of privileged actions, named series A and series B, with a 277.5 billion yen emission ceiling for each.

These titles will offer a priority dividend up to 6 %, an attractive return in an environment still marked by relatively low rates.

The extent of the operation is striking: the total amount of the lifting represents almost 75 % of the current Metaplanet market capitalization (around 729.45 billion yen). Few are the listed companies to have tried such a radical repositioning of their financial model.

A bet on the monetary future in the face of traditional instability

This offensive strategy Translates an increasingly shared conviction in the high spheres of corporate finance. Bitcoin now stands out as a more robust reserve of value than traditional assets.

The choice to finance this accumulation via privileged actions with dividends takes up the mechanics proven by Strategy. The American firm also garnered $ 10 billion in profits in the second quarter of 2025 thanks to the increase in the BTC.

Metaplanet nevertheless tempers his project. She specifies that “no specific plan for the issue of privileged actions is currently underway” and that it is not certain that it is implemented.

The trend is accelerating: more than 61 listed companies alone hold 3.2 % of all bitcoins in circulation today. BTC's strategic accumulation is no longer an exception; It is gradually imposed itself as a pillar of the cash policies of large companies.

Metaplanet's initiative is fully part of this world dynamic. By massively issuing actions to strengthen its Bitcoin reserves, the Japanese company does not follow a simple mode: it deeply rethinks its financial strategy around the rarest and most liquid assets of the 21st century.
