Following Michael Saylor’s blueprint for Bitcoin-focused strategy, Metaplanet has been actively issuing new bonds and stock to raise additional capital for BTC acquisitions.
Since the beginning of 2025, the company’s stock price has climbed by an impressive 275%, with a remarkable 1619% return over the past year.
