Metaplanet Raises ¥9.5B to Expand Bitcoin Holdings: 10k by 2025?

Metaplanet Inc. (Tokyo: 3350), a leading company focused on Bitcoin (BTC), has successfully completed its 12th series stock acquisition on Monday, January 6, 2025. Through its EVO FUND, the company issued 29,000 units, resulting in the release of 2.9 million new shares.

This stock issuance helped Metaplanet raise ¥9.5 billion—¥4.5 billion from the 4th series and ¥5 billion from the 5th series. As a result, the company’s total number of outstanding shares increased to 62.9 million, leading to an 8 percent dilution of the existing stock.

Building Bitcoin Holdings for Long-Term Growth

Since adopting its Bitcoin strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has purchased around 1,762 BTC. The company has also been using global capital markets, with its stock now listed on OTCQX since late 2024.

Metaplanet has been putting cash flow from its core business—such as hotel management and Bitcoin-focused services—toward strengthening its Bitcoin holdings. CEO Simon Gerovich announced the company’s plan to expand its Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by 2025, further solidifying its commitment to the cryptocurrency.
