Metaplanet will be positioned to scale up its Bitcoin acquisition for September and October via the fund.
It is quite clear that the Asian-based firm is pushing its borders to become a top leader in corporate Bitcoin adoption.
Apart from the purchase of Bitcoin, the proceeds will also be used to support Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-related income-generating activities.
This includes options trading as well as other derivative strategies.
According to the plan, September 16, 2025 is the scheduled date for the newly issued shares to be paid.
The shares will not be delivered to investors until September 17, 2025. Upon the completion of the entire exercise, the company’s total outstanding shares would have expanded from around 756 million to over 1.14 billion.
There are speculations that the final number will be around 1.5 billion, although it is still dependent on subscription levels.
This development expresses the growing demand among investors for investments with long-term growth, in comparison with short-term equity value.
Metaplanet Is Nearly 30% Away From 2025 Bitcoin Holdings Target
Gradually, Metaplanet is drawing comparisons to MicroStrategy, now Strategy, in the United States. The latter has flexed a strong Bitcoin accumulation strategy for the last five years.
Initially known as a business intelligence and software firm, Strategy has pivoted into a buoyant Bitcoin treasury model.
It recently announced a new acquisition of an additional 1,955 BTC, expanding its total holdings to 638,460 BTC.
The purchase was made at an average price of $111,196 per BTC, amounting to $271 million in total. On the other hand, Metaplanet has only 20,136 which is quite close to its accumulation target for this year-end.
It is also aiming to scale its holdings to 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and reach 210,000 BTC by the close of 2027.
It acquired an additional 136 Bitcoin worth $15.2 million around the same time as Strategy. This coincides with the time when its stock price tanked by 4%. Metaplanet has been able to secure a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 487% in 2025 alone.
