Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed firm, is set to raise $887 million through an international share issuance to fund the acquisition of Bitcoin and generate yields. This strategic move positions the company as a leading Bitcoin holder and could significantly impact market dynamics globally. 555 million new shares will be issued offshore, with proceeds primarily allocated towards Bitcoin acquisitions and yield-generating activities. Simon Gerovich, president of Metaplanet, emphasizes that Bitcoin holdings will be leveraged for business expansion without selling or resorting to convertible debt. The company aims to reach a Bitcoin holding of 210,000 BTC by 2027. 555 million shares represent an ambitious step, aiming to become the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, and already the most traded stock on Tokyo’s exchange. The recent rise in share value (345% year-to-date) speaks volumes about investor confidence in this bold approach.
