Metaplanet Secures $50 Million to Boost Bitcoin Holdings Through Zero-Interest Bonds

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has secured $50 million in funding through private placement of zero-interest bonds, aiming to increase its Bitcoin holdings. The bonds, issued in denominations of $1.25 million each, provide no regular interest payments and investors will benefit from the bond’s redemption value. Evo Fund, a Cayman Islands-based investment firm, is the sole bondholder and has been actively supporting Metaplanet’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy by participating in multiple rounds of zero-interest bonds. Metaplanet’s bonds are unsecured and unguaranteed, lacking any bond administrator or collateral, signifying high trust between the company and Evo Fund. This move signifies confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential as Metaplanet continues to expand its holdings. While the bond issuance is expected to have a minimal impact on its financial results for 2025, updates may be provided if necessary.
