  • Metaplanet has surpassed 8,000 BTC holdings as part of its ongoing $5.4 billion acquisition plan.
  • The company launched Asia’s largest equity raise for Bitcoin via 555M moving strike warrant shares.
  • With nearly 9,000 BTC and a 189% yield jump, Metaplanet is among the world’s top corporate Bitcoin holders.

The cryptocurrency market has seen explosive growth this year, and Metaplanet has been riding that wave with a bold and aggressive strategy. The company has now officially crossed the 8,000 BTC threshold, cementing its place among the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin worldwide. This milestone aligns with its ongoing $5.4 billion Bitcoin acquisition plan, a massive endeavor fueled by growing institutional confidence in the crypto market.

Asia’s Largest Bitcoin-Only Equity Raise

Metaplanet isn’t slowing down. Its latest move includes launching Asia’s largest-ever equity raise fully dedicated to Bitcoin. According to CEO Simon Gerovich, the capital will be raised through 555 million moving strike warrant shares. This comes on the heels of the company’s previously successful $210 million raise, which set the foundation for its aggressive BTC accumulation strategy.

Strategic Growth Through Treasury Integration

Back in April, Metaplanet made headlines by becoming a top 10 Bitcoin holder globally. That status wasn’t just for show—it reflected a deeper integration of Bitcoin into the company’s treasury strategy. The firm’s rapid BTC accumulation, including a recent $117.5 million purchase, brings its total holdings dangerously close to 9,000 BTC. This marks a continuation of its earlier playbook, where it added 6,000 BTC by raising $650 million across just 60 trading days.

Unshaken Commitment to Bitcoin

With its split-adjusted share issuance strategy and a stunning 189% BTC yield increase, Metaplanet is doubling down when many are still testing the waters. The company’s relentless focus on Bitcoin has not only elevated its market position but also showcased how traditional equity tools can be leveraged to amass digital assets. As Bitcoin’s relevance grows in global finance, Metaplanet seems determined to stay ahead of the curve.
