Metaplanet Repays ¥2B Debt Early as Bitcoin Holdings Surge to $344M
Nidhi Kolhapur7 Apr 20252 min read
In a smart financial move, Metaplanet has fully repaid its ¥2 billion in zero-interest bonds—months ahead of schedule. The early repayment was made possible through EVO FUND’s exercise of stock warrants. By doing this, Metaplanet improves its balance sheet without affecting its earnings, showing strong financial discipline as it continues to focus on its Bitcoin strategy.
This full repayment comes after a ¥1.5 billion partial repayment on March 27, 2025, which was also funded through EVO FUND’s stock warrant exercise. Since these bonds didn’t carry interest, the early payments are expected to have little or no effect on the company’s 2025 profits.
Metaplanet Stacks More Bitcoin
Metaplanet has significantly ramped up its Bitcoin accumulation, now holding 4,046 BTC valued at approximately $344.6 million. Over the past 7 days alone, the company added 696 BTC (worth about $59.28 million), and over the last 30 days, it accumulated a total of 1,811 BTC (worth $154.26 million).
A clear upward trend in Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings began in late February 2025, marking its most active buying period so far. While many investors were panic selling, Metaplanet took the opposite approach, buying more and showing confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
Market Woes Hit Stock Price
However, the timing hasn’t been easy. As Bitcoin’s price dropped, Metaplanet’s stock fell 20% in a single day—reflecting investor concern about the company’s heavy exposure to crypto. At the same time, Bitcoin itself plunged 10% in 24 hours, falling to $74,600. The drop came amid growing fears of a global trade war and marked Bitcoin’s lowest price in weeks.
Bitcoin dominance also rose to 63%, its highest level since early 2021, as investors moved away from altcoins and into Bitcoin during the market selloff.
Despite the market downturn, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stood by the company’s Bitcoin-focused vision. In a recent post on X, he wrote:
“On Bitcoin’s down days, it’s easy to focus on the price, but these are times when belief is tested and nurtured. Volatility is a natural part of an asset that is truly rare, diversified, and has long-term potential,” he emphasized in a latest X post.
While the world panics, Metaplanet is buying the dip with both hands. You decide if you want to follow!
