Japanese Giant Conducted 12th Export to Increase Bitcoin Purchases! - Coin Bulletin
Japanese giant Metaplanet issued 3.6 billion Japanese yen, approximately 24.7 million dollars, in interest-free bonds to increase Bitcoin (BTC) purchases.
Metaplanet, known for its strong investments in the crypto sector, continues to grow its Bitcoin assets. According to a statement made by the company on Friday, the zero-interest bond issuance will be made through EVO FUND and investors will be able to convert the bonds into cash by receiving repayment at face value until October 31, 2025. It was noted that this issuance is the 12th bond issuance made to support the company's Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
In April 2024, Metaplanet, which started actively acquiring Bitcoin, has reached approximately 484 million dollars for a total of 5 thousand BTC so far. This amount corresponds to half of the 10 thousand BTC that the company aims for by the end of the year. With this move, Metaplanet has become one of the top 10 institutional Bitcoin investors in the world, alongside Michael Saylor's Strategy and Elon Musk's Tesla.
Metaplanet announced that it will establish a new subsidiary in Miami, USA, to strengthen Bitcoin investments. The new company, which will be named Metaplanet Treasury Corp., was reportedly chosen due to Florida's rising status as a hub for Bitcoin companies. After its establishment, the company aims to start with an initial capital of 10 million dollars and target raising a total of up to 250 million dollars.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized in a statement on platform X regarding the company's stock performance that the trading volume of the MTPLF shares traded on the OTC market has reached a record high in the last four days. Gerovich also stated in another post, "The unrealized gains we have obtained from Bitcoin have now exceeded 6 billion. This figure is more than four times our market value before adopting the Bitcoin standard,".
In parallel to the news, Metaplanet shares traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose by 10.4% during the day, reaching 435 Japanese yen.
