This new strategy replaces the previous “21 Million Plan,” which had set a lower goal of 21,000 BTC by 2026. Metaplanet Inc. has continued scaling up using both equity and bond-based instruments to fund these buys. The company is leveraging capital markets to expand its role as Japan’s premier Bitcoin treasury vehicle.
BTC Yield, the company’s core performance metric, rose to 112.2% quarter-to-date, reflecting efficient Bitcoin accumulation. BTC Yield measures Bitcoin per fully diluted share to gauge shareholder value accretion. BTC Gain and BTC ¥ Gain also rose, illustrating yen-denominated performance based on Bitcoin treasury operations.
Strategic Capital Raising Underpins Bitcoin Treasury Growth
Metaplanet Inc. has used a mix of zero-coupon, non-interest-bearing bonds and equity issuance to fuel Bitcoin purchases. Since January 2025, it has raised over ¥90 billion and USD 121 million through capital market activity. These funds have been systematically redirected toward strategic Bitcoin acquisitions.
In recent months, Metaplanet Inc. issued multiple bond series to EVO FUND with flexible redemption clauses. The 16th, 17th, and 18th Series were all fully redeemed early on June 25 using equity-linked proceeds. The capital strategy ensures minimal cost of funds while maintaining aggressive Bitcoin exposure.
The company expanded its common shares to over 654.7 million as of June 26, reflecting increased stock issuance. This equity expansion is tied directly to its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, aligning share growth with digital asset growth. Shareholders now track performance through Bitcoin per share rather than fiat-based metrics.
Exercise of Rights Drives Equity Expansion and Bond Redemptions
From February through March 2025, Metaplanet Inc. executed large-scale exercises of stock acquisition rights. The 13th to 17th Series rights resulted in millions of new shares issued and corresponding bond redemptions. Each bond issuance tied directly to Bitcoin treasury goals, without incurring interest costs.
The 6th through 10th Series bonds were issued and redeemed progressively using funds from exercised rights. On March 3, the company completed full exercise of the 13th Series and began exercising the 14th. Metaplanet then continued with redemptions of the 7th and 8th Series bonds using these funds.
By March 31, the company had approved another zero-coupon bond to extend its funding base through September. The pattern of bond issuance, stock rights exercise, and early redemptions illustrates operational efficiency. All proceeds have been redirected to Bitcoin accumulation under the “555 Million Plan.”
Metaplanet Inc. (MTPLF) has now built a model blending capital markets and cryptocurrency strategy, with 12,345 BTC already secured.
