Also on Monday, Metaplanet revealed that its board of directors had approved the issuance of its 18th series of ordinary bonds, valued at $210 million, to EVO Fund. These bonds are set to mature on December 12, 2025. The company confirmed that the proceeds from this issuance will be used to further expand its Bitcoin holdings. The company says this won’t affect its yearly earnings much but will give updates if anything changes.

Metaplanet stated:

“The issuance of these bonds is expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending December 2025. If any material impact on our financial performance or other matters arises, we will provide an update promptly.”

This method helps companies buy Bitcoin without paying interest right away. It also helps them manage money better while growing their crypto holdings. Other companies like MARA Holdings are doing the same. MARA plans to raise $850 million using zero-coupon notes that will mature in 2031.

Metaplanet Stock Soars 25% After Bitcoin Push

Following these announcements, Metaplanet’s stock (3350T) jumped over 25.58% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, hitting a peak of 1,895 yen. Since the start of 2025, the company’s stock has soared by more than 410%.

Bold Bitcoin Target

Earlier, Metaplanet shared its bold plan to collect 100,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2026. The company also aims to raise that number to 210,000 Bitcoins before 2027 ends. This goal is a key part of its fast-track Bitcoin strategy for 2025 to 2027.

To support its Bitcoin accumulation target, Metaplanet announced on June 6 a $5.4 billion equity offering aimed at purchasing more Bitcoin. The company plans to issue 555 million shares over the next two years. Just days earlier, on June 2, Metaplanet revealed it had acquired another 1,088 BTC, raising its total to 8,888 BTC at that time.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, remains the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. The company now holds 582K BTC after adding 1,045 BTC last week. Saylor stated his company plans to buy more Bitcoin on Monday. Bitcoin dropped from $110K to $103K in three days due to global issues. Still, big investors continue to buy and show steady interest in Bitcoin. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was priced at $106,701, showing a 3% rise in the last 24 hours.
