Metaplanet Goes Full Laser-Eyes: Launches U.S. Arm to Supercharge Bitcoin Treasury with $250M War Chest

Tokyo’s crypto darling Metaplanet isn’t just dipping toes—it’s cannonballing into the deep end. The firm just filed paperwork for a U.S. subsidiary while prepping a quarter-billion-dollar raise to double down on its Bitcoin bet.

Why it matters: This isn’t your grandma’s ’diversified portfolio’ play. The move signals an institutional shift from ’crypto curious’ to ’all-in on orange coin’—even as TradFi bankers clutch their pearls over ’volatility.’

Between the lines: That $250M isn’t for hiring or R&D. Every satoshi’s earmarked for BTC acquisitions, making Metaplanet the latest public company to treat Bitcoin like a corporate balance sheet steroid.

The kicker: Watch for SEC scrutiny. When a foreign firm starts raising USD to hoard decentralized assets, someone in Washington always reaches for the regulatory hammer.

Bonus cynicism: Because nothing says ’mature asset class’ like publicly traded companies gambling shareholder funds on digital tulips.
