Metaplanet Takes Bold Step: Issues Zero-Interest Bonds for Bitcoin Purchases

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has issued $50 million in bonds with a 0% interest rate, solely dedicated to buying more Bitcoin. This move follows MicroStrategy’s successful strategy of using debt to acquire Bitcoin. The company believes this approach provides them with an advantage in the long term by hedging against inflation and currency devaluation. 0% interest rates mean investors don’t owe any additional payments beyond the initial bond amount, making it a cost-effective financing option, especially when compared to traditional borrowing.
