Metaplanet raises $62 million to boost Bitcoin purchases, joining major firms like MicroStrategy in expanding institutional crypto investments.

Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, has announced plans to raise $62 million by issuing stock acquisition rights to EVO Fund. The raised funds will be allocated to buying more Bitcoin for its treasury management.

The company stressed that it will continue to maintain a Bitcoin-first strategy. 

Metaplanet’s Second Bitcoin Purchase in Q4

Metaplanet outlined its strategy in a press release, confirming the issuance of its 12th series of Stock Acquisition Rights. Starting Dec. 16, 2024, the firm will allocate 29,000 units through a third-party allotment. 

Each unit gives EVO Fund the right to purchase 100 common shares, priced at 614 yen per unit, amounting to a total of 17,806,000 yen.

“We are prioritizing a Bitcoin-first, Bitcoin-only approach to treasury management. We have made it clear that we intend to utilize debt and periodic stock issuance to systematically increase our Bitcoin holdings while reducing exposure to a depreciating yen,” Metaplanet stated in the press release

Throughout this year, Metaplanet has been actively leveraging stock acquisition rights to increase its Bitcoin holdings. 

In October, the firm concluded its 11th issuance, raising 10 billion yen ($66 million), with a significant portion allocated to further Bitcoin purchases. The company’s shares surged over 1,000% in 2024.

Public Firms Continue to Buy More BTC

Publicly traded companies are increasingly investing in Bitcoin. Yesterday, Chinese public company SOS Limited also bought $50 million worth of BTC. Following the news, its stock price surged over 100%. 

Also, MicroStrategy recently acquired another $5.4 billion worth of BTC. This was its third round of Bitcoin purchase in November alone. The company has spent over $16 billion on Bitcoin this year, maintaining its status as the largest institutional Bitcoin holder

Similar to other firms, MircoStrategy’s stock performance has mirrored Bitcoin’s surge. Its shares have climbed 450% year-to-date, placing it among the top 100 US public companies.

Other firms are also ramping up Bitcoin investments. Marathon Digital recently raised $1 billion through a convertible senior notes offering, earmarking the majority of the funds for Bitcoin acquisitions.

Bitcoin’s price performance continues to fuel optimism. Despite reaching $99,000 in the current cycle, public firms remain confident in Bitcoin’s long-term potential. 

In fact, Pantera Capital recently projected that Bitcoin could hit $740,000 by 2028, reinforcing the bullish sentiment across the industry.
