Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Strategy Under Pressure: Funding Stalls Threaten Aggressive Expansion Goals

Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed firm building one of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holdings, is facing financial difficulties as its stock price plummets. The company has relied on a “flywheel” model to fund its ambitious Bitcoin acquisitions, but this strategy faces a major roadblock due to the recent stock decline and dwindling investor interest. 54% of Metaplanet shares have fallen since mid-June, putting pressure on the firm’s ability to secure new funding for further Bitcoin purchases.
