JUST IN: 🇯🇵 Metaplanet to raise $837 million to buy more Bitcoin.

Metaplanet, a Japanese listed company, plans to raise ¥130.334 billion ($881 million) through an international share offering. The funds will be used to purchase ¥123.818 billion ($837 million) in Bitcoin between September and October 2025 and allocate ¥6.516 billion ($44 million) for Bitcoin financial operations. As of August 25, 2025, the company holds 18,991 Bitcoins, valued at approximately ¥314.6 billion.

Against this backdrop, the Company believes that the strategic significance of Bitcoin (“BTC”) is rising rapidly, due to factors such as its high scarcity (as it has a clear programmed issuance cap and issuance cannot be arbitrarily increased), the convenience of swift and low-cost storage or transfer without border or physical constraints, and the transparency and reliability of transactions not requiring third- party trust.
