Metaplanet Finalizes $1.45B Share Sale to Supercharge Bitcoin Treasury

Tokyo-listed Metaplanet has completed a $1.45 billion share sale, dedicating nearly 90% of proceeds to new Bitcoin purchases.

The firm will allocate $1.25 billion to expand its BTC holdings and $139 million to income-generating operations.The move lifts Metaplanet’s treasury to 20,136 BTC worth about $2.25 billion, making it the world’s sixth-largest public holder, ahead of Tesla and Coinbase. Executives cite Japan’s debt burden, negative real interest rates, and yen depreciation as key drivers behind the strategy.

Analysts say the raise cements corporate Bitcoin adoption in Japan, with expectations that public companies worldwide could collectively hold over 1 million BTC by year-end.
