Metaplanet Shatters Expectations: Hits 10,000 BTC Milestone Half a Year Early!

Tokyo's Crypto Giant Flexes Muscles with Ambitious Bitcoin Buys

Hold onto your hats, folks! Metaplanet, the Tokyo-listed powerhouse, just blasted past the 10,000 BTC mark, smashing its 2025 year-end goal a full six months ahead of time. Talk about setting the crypto world on fire!

On June 16, these trailblazers dropped the bomb, revealing they scooped up an extra 1,112 Bitcoin at a jaw-dropping average of 15.18 million yen each—that's about $105,000 a pop! With this latest haul, their total stash now stands at a cool 10,000 BTC, valued at a staggering 16.88 billion yen, or roughly $110 million. This isn't just a milestone; it's a full-blown crypto conquest!

But wait, there's more! To fund this epic Bitcoin binge, Metaplanet pulled off a slick move, issuing a new $210 million bond to EVO Fund, all announced on the same action-packed day. These zero-interest bonds, due to mature in December 2025, come with an early redemption option because, let's face it, who needs to wait when you're on a roll like this?

Every single penny raised is being poured straight into buying more Bitcoin, showing just how laser-focused these guys are on stacking those sats. Sure, they say it won't rock their full-year earnings much, but they've promised to keep the market posted if things get even wilder.

Now, get this: Metaplanet's original plan was to hit 21,000 BTC by 2026 under their "21 Million Plan." But in a June shocker, they cranked up the heat, setting their sights on a whopping 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and a mind-blowing 210,000 BTC by 2027. That's right, they're gunning for a full 1% of all Bitcoin out there!

And it's not just about buying; Metaplanet's got their eyes on the prize with internal performance metrics like BTC Yield. This bad boy tracks how much Bitcoin they hold per fully diluted share, showing off both their buying power and share issuance. As of June 16, their yield for the current quarter was a solid 87.2%. But hold onto your seats—previous quarters saw mind-boggling jumps, like a 309.8% surge in Q4 2024!

To keep the cash flowing for this grand expansion, Metaplanet's been playing the stock market like a pro. They granted EVO Fund 21 million new share rights in five tranches back in January, with flexible pricing and no discounts. This aggressive capital raise and Bitcoin acquisition strategy has catapulted them to the top, making Metaplanet Asia's biggest corporate Bitcoin holder and the eighth largest globally. Move over, everyone—Metaplanet's here to dominate!
