Total 2025 Raise Hits $135M With Goal of 10,000 BTC by Year-End
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has ramped up its Bitcoin strategy by issuing $21 million in zero-interest bonds to Evo Fund, just one day after announcing a separate $50 million fundraising round. The move marks the latest step in Metaplanet’s goal to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
The 17th bond series, issued May 29, carries a face value of $525,000 each and matures on Nov. 28, 2025 — with no interest obligation.
The zero-interest structure enables Metaplanet to raise capital with minimal borrowing cost, while Evo Fund retains the right to trigger early redemption with five business days’ notice. The bonds are unsecured and issued under Japan’s corporate debt laws without a bond administrator.
$135.2 Million Raised in 2025 to Buy Bitcoin
So far this year, Metaplanet has raised a total of $135.2 million:
- $25.9M in February
- $13.3M in March
- $25M earlier in May
- $50M on May 28
- $21M on May 29
The company currently holds about 7,800 BTC, valued at $840 million, making it the 11th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
With an average acquisition price of $91,340 per BTC, Metaplanet remains bullish on long-term value appreciation. In March, the firm acquired 696 BTC via cash-secured put options, followed by another 145 BTC for $13.6M in late April.
Expansion to U.S. Market via Metaplanet Treasury
To tap deeper capital markets, Metaplanet announced its new U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury, on May 1. Based in Florida, the entity aims to raise up to $250 million to fuel additional BTC acquisitions.
Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, joined Metaplanet’s Strategic Advisory Board in March, adding visibility to the firm’s global ambitions.
Corporate Bitcoin Trend Gains Steam
Metaplanet’s aggressive strategy comes amid a broader wave of institutional Bitcoin adoption. GameStop, the U.S. gaming retailer, confirmed its first-ever BTC purchase on May 28, acquiring 4,710 BTC.
With growing institutional demand and innovative financing, Metaplanet is positioning itself as a leading corporate force in the Bitcoin space.
