Japan’s Metaplanet Plans Massive Bitcoin Buy From New International Offering

Metaplanet, a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed firm, has announced plans to raise $881 million (¥130.334 billion) through an international share offering, with the majority earmarked for bitcoin purchases. The company will allocate $837 million (¥123.818 billion) to acquire BTC between September and October 2025, while $44 million (¥6.516 billion) will fund its bitcoin financial operations.

As of August 25, 2025, Metaplanet holds 18,991 BTC, valued at roughly $2.1 billion (¥314.6 billion). The new capital raise would significantly expand its bitcoin net asset value ( BTC NAV), a key driver for its preferred shares. The company aims to maximize BTC per share and enhance shareholder returns through treasury growth.

The company said it “believes that the strategic significance of bitcoin is
rising rapidly,” and it has “repositioned itself as a bitcoin treasury company, strategically holding BTC as part of its own assets.”

Metaplanet has also been developing a bitcoin income strategy, generating revenue by selling put options on its holdings. In Q2 FY2025, this activity brought in $13 million (¥1.9 billion) in revenue, helping the firm pursue full-year profitability.

Part of the newly raised funds will support margin requirements for expanding this options business through the end of 2025. The upcoming offering underscores its intent to aggressively scale holdings and cement its role as a major corporate bitcoin holder in Asia.
