It is worth noting that this is the first time that Japan has issued at a premium above the market price, mainly due to the high volatility and deep liquidity of Metaplanet shares. This action is a continuation of the company's previous successful fundraising program, which allowed the company to successfully raise approximately US$650 million in 60 trading days, achieve a +189% Bitcoin investment yield, and more than tripled the company's share price after the announcement, thus jumping to 10th place in the global Bitcoin holdings ranking. Based on these successes, Metaplanet has set more aggressive Bitcoin holding goals: it plans to hold 100,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2026 and reach the milestone of 210,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2027, which will account for one percent of Bitcoin's total supply.

The Company's primary financing options include the issuance of zero-coupon bonds, such as the recently issued $21 million and $50 million bonds. As of early June 2025, Metaplanet held approximately 8,888 Bitcoins at a cumulative purchase cost of approximately 122.27 billion yen, with an average purchase price of 13.75 million 6,658 yen per Bitcoin. This aggressive strategy had a significant positive impact on the company's share price. Metaplanet's share price has soared more than 15 times since April 2024. The strategy of using Bitcoin as a core vault asset has also led to good financial performance for Metaplanet, which reported strong operating profit in the first quarter of 2025 and a whopping 225.4% yield on its Bitcoin investments since the beginning of the year. To expand the sources of liquidity for institutional investors, Metaplanet has also established a U.S. subsidiary to further strengthen its position in the digital asset market. Metaplanet's announcement of a $5.4 billion Bitcoin equity financing is the largest ever move in Asia. Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, said on the X platform: "Thank you to all shareholders. It is an honor to embark on this journey with all of you. Metaplanet is using Bitcoin as a power to accelerate into the future."
