The firm’s total Bitcoin investment cost stands at $1.31 billion, with the current value near $1.45 billion, based on the $107,733 market price per BTC.

According to BiTBO, CleanSpark holds 12,502 BTC, placing Metaplanet ahead of it. The company also surpasses Tesla, Hut 8, Coinbase, and Block Inc. in corporate BTC treasury size. Only MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital, Twenty One Capital, and Riot Platforms hold more.

Metaplanet Issues 0% Bonds to Fund Bitcoin Purchases

Alongside the $108 million Bitcoin buy, Metaplanet revealed a bond issuance strategy. The company raised 30 billion yen (about $208 million) by offering 0% ordinary bonds through its EVO fund.

Metaplanet will use the proceeds to fund more Bitcoin purchases and repay 1.75 billion yen (around $12 million) of older bonds that carried a 0.36% annual interest rate.

The company said,

“Funds raised through the issuance of the new bonds will be partially allocated to the buyback and cancellation, with the remainder used for the purchase of Bitcoin.”

This allows the company to use capital without interest costs while increasing its Bitcoin holdings. The firm’s public disclosure noted both bond cancellation and BTC acquisition as the two planned uses of the funds.

Metaplanet Stock Rises 9% After Strategy Change

Following the Metaplanet Bitcoin buy, the company’s stock price jumped 9% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Data from Google Finance shows the share price has climbed over 350% since January 2025.

Earlier this month, the company updated its BTC target from 21,000 BTC to 100,000 BTC by 2026. Metaplanet also announced plans to raise $5.4 billion and reach 210,000 BTC by 2027.

If it meets that goal and no other firm surpasses it, Metaplanet would become the second-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. The current BTC accumulation strategy is based on capital raised through bond offerings.

Michael Saylor Mentions Bitcoin; Gerovich Responds

On the same weekend, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor posted his regular Bitcoin portfolio chart on X. He wrote,

“In 21 years, you’ll wish you’d bought more.”

Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, replied:

“We buy every day. And still, I know I’ll look back wishing we had moved even faster.”

Saylor’s chart posts have previously come before Monday purchase announcements from MicroStrategy. However, no new buy from the company has been confirmed at the time of writing.

According to Gerovich, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin yield has reached 349% year-to-date, based on its current average buy price and BTC’s market performance.
