Metaplanet Issues $13.6 Million in Zero-Interest Bonds to Fund Bitcoin Purchases
Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed investment firm, has issued $13.6 million in 0% ordinary bonds to fund the purchase of additional Bitcoin. The bonds, worth 2 billion JPY, were issued to EVO FUND and are aimed at increasing the firm’s holdings in digital assets as part of its ongoing strategy.
Bond Details
The bonds carry no interest and will be redeemed at face value on August 26. However, the bondholder, EVO FUND, has the option to request early redemption at any time. Early redemption can be made for all or part of the outstanding bonds, provided the request is made at least one business day in advance.
The funds required for the redemption of the bonds will come from the proceeds of the 13th to 17th Series of Stock Acquisition Rights, which Metaplanet expects to exercise. If the funds from these exercises reach a multiple of 50 million JPY, part of the bonds may be redeemed early.
Investment Strategy
Metaplanet has been gradually growing its Bitcoin holdings since launching its Bitcoin Treasury Operations. The firm’s BTC Yield, which measures the amount of Bitcoin held per share, grew by 309.8% in Q4 2024. However, it has slowed down to 23.2% in early 2025 as Metaplanet increased the number of its shares.
Metaplanet’s investment strategy is similar to that of companies like MicroStrategy, which owns one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries. The firm’s decision to issue bonds to fund Bitcoin purchases demonstrates its commitment to increasing its digital asset holdings.
