Metaplanet Goes Full Bitcoin: Using BTC to Fuel Aggressive Business Acquisitions

Tokyo's Metaplanet just flipped traditional M&A playbook—announcing plans to deploy Bitcoin as primary capital for strategic acquisitions. No fiat middlemen, no bank delays—just pure crypto velocity.

The move signals a radical shift in corporate finance strategy as public companies start treating BTC like a balance sheet weapon. One insider quipped, 'Why dilute shareholders when you can HODL and shop?'

Wall Street analysts are scrambling to update valuation models—turns out 'number go up' technology works for enterprise growth too. Meanwhile, legacy finance bros still can't decide if Bitcoin is a currency, commodity, or existential threat to their Porsche payments.

Bitcoin as Leverage, Not for Sale

Metaplanet hasn’t been considering Bitcoin sales for quite some time. Rather, the company is stepping up its bond and preferred stock issuance to finance ongoing accumulation. Using Bitcoin as collateral, they wish to acquire businesses that align with their long-term digital strategy. The management is particularly interested in Japanese digital banks, especially those that provide services that outshine traditional retail banking.

Back in June 2025, the Metaplanet’s stock trading volume soared to $11.6 billion, surpassing both Toyota and Sony. The company also made five separate BTC purchases that month, which helped increase its total holdings. In fact, the stock price jumped by 25% in just one day.

Besides ramping up BTC purchases, Metaplanet’s management is focused on long-term expansion. The company wants to be a leader in Bitcoin-backed finance. Its strategy could reshape Japan’s fintech.
