Metaplanet, Japan’s top investment firm, has issued another part of its zero-basis bonds, raising ¥2 billion,approximately $13.4 million.
This issuance follows a consistent practice by the firm to increase its Bitcoin (BTC) reserves. The bonds, which carry no interest, will be repurchased at face value by EVO FUND, the sole bondholder, on September 17, 2025.
The zero-interest bonds provide Metaplanet with an affordable option to raise capital with little liability while focusing on strategic asset formation in Bitcoin.
The funds generated from this bond sale are used specifically for additional Bitcoin acquisitions, further supporting Metaplanet’s long-term strategy to secure a leading position in the cryptocurrency market and Asia’s corporate Bitcoin holders.
Recent Bitcoin Acquisitions and Strategic Positioning
Metaplanet used part of its capital to purchase 150 BTC for approximately $12.5 million, on March 18, 2025, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to about 3,200 BTC. The average acquisition cost per BTC was around $83,123.
This latest purchase is part of Metaplanet’s ongoing commitment to increasing its Bitcoin holdings; the firm aims to hold 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, as previously reported by ETHNews.
Metaplanet’s continued purchase and accumulation of Bitcoin is in line with the growing trend of institutional investors views on digital currencies.
Though using zero-interest bonds for Bitcoin purchases, Metaplanet has managed potential financial risk while improving its position in the cryptocurrency industry.
