Metaplanet plans to raise $880 million via share offering to fund fresh Bitcoin purchases
Quick Take Metaplanet plans to raise 130 billion yen ($880 million) via an international share sale and deploy ¥124 billion ($837 million) into bitcoin acquisitions between September and October 2025. The Tokyo-listed firm now holds 18,991 BTC, worth over $2.1 billion, following recent purchases, as part of a group of public companies that collectively hold more than 775,330 BTC.
Hailed as Japan’s Strategy, Metaplanet intends to expand its corporate bitcoin treasury by issuing new shares targeted at offshore investors, according to a Wednesday announcement.
Metaplanet said it plans to raise 130 billion yen, about $880 million, through an international share offering and spend nearly all of the proceeds buying bitcoin over the next two months.
In a filing, the Tokyo-listed firm said an estimated 124 billion yen, or approximately $837 million, of the funds would be used to purchase bitcoin between September and October 2025, with 6.5 billion yen ($43.9 million) earmarked for bitcoin-related financial operations.
The disclosed raise follows a larger $3.7 billion stock issuance plan that stretches till 2027 , and a string of recent purchases as the firm leans into a treasury strategy modeled on U.S. playbooks. Earlier this month, Metaplanet disclosed buys of 775 BTC for $93 million and 103 BTC for $11.7 million , continuing an accumulation spree that has pushed its holdings to one of the largest corporate bitcoin troves in Asia.
As of Aug. 25, Metaplanet held 18,991 BTC worth roughly $2.1 billion, The Block’s data dashboard shows. The company did not provide detailed pricing or timetable information for the share sale beyond the September–October deployment window.
Meanwhile, institutional bitcoin uptake has accelerated globally this year. Public companies now hold more than 770,000 BTC in aggregate, according to The Block’s data dashboard, a trend Metaplanet executives have cited in framing bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset. Michael Saylor’s bitcoin treasury giant, Strategy , remains the pack leader among corporate BTC buyers. The firm has a staggering 632,457 BTC stack valued at over $70 billion, following its latest 3,081 bitcoin scoop for $357 million.

60% of stocks have fallen into a bear market, the seven tech giants are holding up the S&P alone! BTIG: US stocks may be just a "gentle push" away from collapsing
The S&P 500 is just one step away from its all-time high, but under the surface, turbulence is brewing: 60% of its components have already entered a technical bear market, and only 30% have outperformed the index, the lowest since 1991. All of this is being supported solely by the seven major tech giants—which is, in fact, the biggest risk. With crowded positions and the semiconductor sector mirroring the path of the 2000 bubble burst, an accelerated decline could be triggered during the upcoming earnings season at the end of the month.
