Overview
- Metaplanet, which filed Friday, sold ¥8 billion (about $50 million) in bonds fully subscribed by EVO Fund to fund additional Bitcoin purchases.
- The unsecured notes pay no interest and mature in April 2027, and the company restricted all proceeds to Bitcoin buys.
- The bond terms include early-redemption flexibility that lets EVO Fund demand repayment with five business days’ notice and gives Metaplanet an issuer redemption option tied to future financings.
- The Tokyo-listed firm reports holdings of 40,177 BTC, making it Japan’s largest corporate holder and the third-largest among public companies worldwide.
- Management is targeting 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 by the end of 2027 despite a ¥95 billion ($619 million) fiscal-2025 net loss driven by unrealized markdowns on its Bitcoin stack.
