The Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet has once again demonstrated its dedication to incorporating cryptocurrencies into its investment portfolio by strategically issuing bonds to finance the purchase of Bitcoin.
Metaplanet announced on 13th February, that it would issue ¥4 billion (about $26 million) in bonds, with the money raised going only toward buying more Bitcoin.
With this move, Metaplanet will successfully raise funds at advantageous terms through the issuing of bonds, allowing it to grow its Bitcoin holdings without reducing equity. This strategy is similar to tactics used by other businesses, such MicroStrategy, which has funded Bitcoin acquisitions using convertible bonds.
Metaplanet’s Bond Issuance For Bitcoin Buy
In addition to modifying the initial budgeted use of money, Metaplanet reported that it has raised 4 billion yen through its sixth public bond sale (0% interest rate, unsecured, and unguaranteed).
According to the corporation, this action intends to maintain the firm’s view of Bitcoin’s status as a core reserve asset while optimizing fund management and lowering interest rate and foreign exchange risks.

Metaplanet’s Constant Bitcoin Purchase
With a consistent Bitcoin buying spree to significantly increase its Bitcoin holdings, the Japanese venture capital firm Metaplanet hasstayed in tandem with its market peers.
In 2024, the company acquired 1,762 BTC in 19 separate transactions, making it the greatest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia and the fifteenth largest globally among publicly traded corporations.
Metaplanet said in January 2025 that it would raise its Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of the year via innovative financing strategies like as loans, stocks, and convertible bonds.
This ambitious goal aligns with market forecasts that Bitcoin will reach $200,000 by 2025.
Why Are More Corporates Diving into Crypto Reserves?
Businesses are increasingly buying Bitcoin as part of their investment plan in an attempt to diversify their portfolios and safeguard themselves against inflation. Bitcoin is seen as a store of value, especially in an environment with low interest rates and minimal return from conventional assets.
Companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla view Bitcoin as a way to safeguard wealth and stop currency devaluation. Additionally, Bitcoin’s potential for long-term appreciation attracts companies looking for high-growth opportunities.
Growing institutional acceptance and the increasing integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional banking are making Bitcoin a more attractive and useful solution for firm balance sheets.
