Metaplanet Inc. has completed the early redemption and full repayment of its 9th Series of Ordinary Bonds. The repayment totals ¥2 billion ($13.5 million), the company announced on April 7. Originally set to mature in September 2025, the bonds were issued to EVO FUND on March 18 without interest. The company had previously redeemed ¥1.5 billion of the bonds on March 27, citing proceeds from the exercise of stock acquisition rights issued through third-party allotments. Metaplanet Inc., formerly known as Red Planet Japan, is a Japanese company that has pivoted to become a Bitcoin treasury firm. It focuses on accumulating and managing Bitcoin ( BTC ) as its core asset and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The remaining ¥500 million balance was settled on April 4, marking the full closure of the bond issuance. Metaplanet confirmed that funds for the redemption were sourced from EVO FUND’s payment during the exercise of the company’s 13th to 17th series of stock acquisition rights. Since the bonds carried no interest, the company expects the financial impact on its 2025 results to be minimal. Metaplanet acquired 160 additional Bitcoin on April 2 at an average price of $80,063 per BTC. The purchase, worth approximately $13.39 million, brought the company’s total holdings to 4,206 BTC as part of its ongoing treasury strategy.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $83,154, showing a modest 0.2% loss in the past day and a 15% decline over the past month.

The company announced that its Board of Directors has approved issuing its 8th Series of Ordinary Bonds to EVO FUND, amounting to JPY 2 billion (approximately $18.2 million). The proceeds are intended for further Bitcoin acquisitions, following the regulations in Metaplanet’s January 28, 2025, notice regarding stock acquisition rights. This move echoes similar efforts by other companies in the space, including MicroStrategy, which recently disclosed plans to raise $21 billion for Bitcoin purchases. These acquisitions often result in reduced circulation, creating upward price pressure as demand persists.

Japan’s investment firm Metaplanet has issued $13.6 million in 0% ordinary bonds to fund the purchase of additional Bitcoin. Tokyo-listed firm Metaplanet is issuing 2 billion JPY (around $13.6 million) in bonds to EVO FUND, with the funds aimed at purchasing more Bitcoin ( BTC ) as part of the firm’s ongoing strategy to increase its holdings in digital assets. In a Feb. 27 regulatory filing , Metaplanet said the bonds carry no interest and will be redeemed at face value on Aug. 26. However, the bondholder, EVO FUND, has the option to request early redemption at any time. Early redemption can be made for all or part of the outstanding bonds, provided the request is made at least one business day in advance, the document reads. The funds required for the redemption of the bonds will come from the proceeds of the 13th to 17th Series of Stock Acquisition Rights, which Metaplanet expects to exercise. If the funds from these exercises reach a multiple of 50 million JPY, part of the bonds may be redeemed early. The bond issuance will be fully allocated to EVO FUND, with no guarantee or collateral attached to the bonds, per the document. Despite the news, Metaplanet’s shares have dropped nearly 25% as crypto prices experience a week-long decline. The announcement comes just two days after Metaplanet added 135 BTC to its treasury, strengthening its position as one of Japan’s most active corporate Bitcoin investors. Like Strategy — formerly MicroStrategy —, which owns the biggest corporate Bitcoin treasuries, Metaplanet has been gradually growing its holdings since launching its Bitcoin Treasury Operations. As crypto.news reported earlier, the firm’s BTC Yield, which measures the amount of Bitcoin held per share, grew by 309.8% in Q4 2024. It has however slowed down to 23.2% in early 2025 as Metaplanet increased the number of its shares.

Metaplanet has added 135 Bitcoin to its treasury, strengthening its position as one of Japan’s most active corporate Bitcoin investors.

It has however slowed down to 23.2% in early 2025 as Metaplanet increased the number of its shares. Metaplanet continues to leverage capital market activities to finance its Bitcoin purchases. In January, Metaplanet offered 21 million stock acquisition rights to EVO FUND, managed by Evolution Capital Management, followed by early bond redemptions of 4 billion yen ($26.5 million) in February. Since it started purchasing Bitcoin in April 2024, Metaplanet’s stock price has increased by more than 3000%, making it the best-performing stock in Japan. On Feb. 18, the company announced a 10-to-1 stock split that would go into effect on Apr. 1, to make shares more accessible. The initiative comes after a prior reverse stock split in August 2024 that combined ten shares into one. Now that the stock price is above 6000 yen a share, the company is dividing shares once more to increase liquidity and draw in new investors. Metaplanet’s strategy may provide a template for other businesses looking to incorporate Bitcoin into their balance sheets, given Japan’s progressive views on the cryptocurrency.
