27-8-2025 – Metaplanet, Japan’s leading corporate Bitcoin holder, has announced plans to raise 130 billion yen ($880 million) via an international share offering targeted at offshore investors to bolster its cryptocurrency treasury. The Tokyo-listed firm detailed in a Wednesday filing that approximately 124 billion yen ($837 million) of the proceeds will fund Bitcoin acquisitions between September and October 2025, with the remaining 6.5 billion yen ($43.9 million) allocated to related financial activities.
This initiative follows a broader $3.7 billion stock issuance strategy extending to 2027 and recent buys, including 775 BTC for $93 million and 103 BTC for $11.7 million earlier this month. As of August 25, Metaplanet holds 18,991 BTC valued at about $2.1 billion, positioning it as Asia’s largest corporate Bitcoin accumulator, according to The Block’s data dashboard.
Modeled after U.S. firms like Strategy, which leads with 632,457 BTC worth over $70 billion after its latest $357 million purchase, Metaplanet’s approach reflects accelerating global institutional adoption. Public companies worldwide now control more than 770,000 BTC, viewing the asset as a hedge against inflation and currency risks.
