Metaplanet Announces New Strategy in Cryptocurrency Markets
Metaplanet, a publicly traded company based in Japan, has unveiled a new strategy that is set to draw attention in the cryptocurrency sector.
The firm intends to raise 130.334 billion yen (approximately $881 million) through an international stock offering. A significant portion of these funds will be allocated toward direct investments in Bitcoin.
As stated by the company, 123.818 billion yen ($837 million) of the capital raised will go towards Bitcoin acquisitions between September and October 2025. The remaining 6.516 billion yen ($44 million) will focus on the development of Bitcoin-centric financial operations.
Metaplanet stands out as one of the Asian firms that has been gaining attention for its assertive Bitcoin strategy. Presently, the company possesses 18,991 Bitcoins, which have a total value estimated at around 314.6 billion yen as of August 25, 2025.
Experts view Metaplanet’s initiatives as part of a broader trend where Bitcoin is increasingly favored by institutional treasuries. The adoption of this strategy, notably one first established by MicroStrategy, could enhance institutional investor interest in Japan.
Company representatives stress that these new investments are part of a long-term strategy, with Metaplanet aiming to establish Bitcoin as a “core reserve asset” on its balance sheet.
This development marks a significant milestone in the global institutional adoption of Bitcoin.
