Metaplanet secured $1.4 billion through an international share offering, with plans to buy Bitcoin and expand globally, signaling growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin treasury strategies.
Metaplanet completed a $1.4 billion international share offering to fund large-scale Bitcoin acquisitions, with purchases planned between September and October 2025. The Tokyo-listed company also announced the launch of subsidiaries in Miami and Tokyo and the acquisition of the Bitcoin.jp domain. Its U.S. unit, Metaplanet Income Corp., will focus on Bitcoin income generation and derivatives, while Bitcoin Japan Inc. will manage media, events, and services. The fundraise attracted institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds, underscoring mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin treasury operations. Corporate Bitcoin holdings now exceed 1 million BTC, about 5% of supply, highlighting rapid adoption.
