Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin Bet—Snaps Up 555 BTC After $25M Bond Raise

Tokyo-listed Metaplanet just loaded up on another 555 BTC—funded by its latest zero-coupon bond offering. The move screams ’institutional FOMO’ as corporations scramble to hedge against fiat debasement with digital gold.

Zero-coupon bonds? Clever accounting. No pesky interest payments to spook shareholders—just silent dilution and a side of hopium. Meanwhile, their treasury now holds enough Bitcoin to make even MicroStrategy raise an eyebrow.

Bullish signal or desperate gamble? Either way, the suits are finally playing our game.

Metaplanet Inc. Purchased additional 555 Bitcoins after raising $25 million by issuing zero-coupon bonds on May 7, 2025. These bonds were sold to EVO FUND and come with no interest. The money raised was fully used to buy more Bitcoin.
