Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is set to raise $881 million through an international stock offering to significantly increase its Bitcoin holdings. The company’s strategy shift involves prioritizing Bitcoin over fiat currency to protect against Japan’s economic challenges, including rising national debt and a declining yen. This capital injection will bolster Metaplanet’s balance sheet while maximizing potential returns from the cryptocurrency. Metaplanet plans to use the $881 million to acquire additional BTC, positioning the company to strengthen its Bitcoin net asset value (NAV). The capital raise will be finalized after a shareholder vote on September 1st, 2025.
