Metaplanet Acquires Additional 555 Bitcoins, Aiming for 10,000 Bitcoin Holdings
Metaplanet Invests Heavily in Bitcoin Expansion
In a bold move, the Metaplanet Investment Company has dropped a cool $53 million on purchasing 555 more units of Bitcoin, escalating its total BTC holdings to an impressive 5,555. With this latest purchase, the company's Bitcoin assets are now valued at roughly $481.5 million.
The company's CEO, Simon Gerovich, couldn't contain his excitement, proudly announcing the 5,555 BTC milestone on the social media platform X. His post paid homage to the Japanese numeral "go," symbolizing his ambitious aim - to send the Bitcoin value "to the moon and beyond!"
Since declaring its Bitcoin-focused investment strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has aimed to amass 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. This latest acquisition brings the company more than halfway to its target.
To maintain this aggressive Bitcoin buying spree, Metaplanet is planning to issue a new bond worth $25 million, marking the launch of its 13th bond issuance. Interestingly, another bond sale of the same amount was made just a week earlier.
Expansion Across the United States
In line with its global expansion strategies, Metaplanet is setting up a new 100% subsidiary named "Metaplanet Treasury Corp." in the United States. Despite previous reports suggesting Miami, the exact location remains unspecified, with Metaplanet hinting at its desire to operate across different time zones for seamless, round-the-clock Bitcoin trading.
Following these announcements, Metaplanet's shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange surged by 13.3%.
