Bitcoin News Today: Metaplanet to Raise ¥555 Billion to Accelerate Bitcoin Accumulation to 210000 BTC by 2027

Metaplanet, a publicly traded Japanese firm focused on Bitcoin treasury strategies, has announced a significant capital raise of up to ¥555 billion ($3.7 billion) to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation plan through 2027. The stock issuance, valid from August 9, 2025, to August 8, 2027, will allow the company to issue shares in increments depending on market conditions. This initiative is designed to bolster Metaplanet’s previously announced target of acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to digital assets [1].

The proposed capital increase represents approximately 75% of the company’s current market capitalization of ¥729.45 billion. To facilitate the offering, Metaplanet must increase its authorized share count from 1.61 billion to 2.723 billion at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) scheduled for September 1 [1]. If approved, the company will issue two types of perpetual preferred stock—Class A and Class B—each valued at ¥277.5 billion. These shares will offer dividends of up to 6% and prioritize ordinary shareholders, with all proceeds directly allocated to Bitcoin purchases [1].

As of July 28, Metaplanet added 780 BTC to its holdings, bringing its total to 17,132 BTC. At Bitcoin’s current price of $114,396, this equates to approximately $1.95 billion in digital assets. Earlier in July, the firm also announced a $3.5 billion preferred share offering, further strengthening its financial flexibility and supporting its aggressive acquisition strategy [2].

The firm’s strategy aligns with a broader trend of institutional adoption of Bitcoin, with other corporations also raising significant capital to purchase the cryptocurrency. Metaplanet’s approach reflects a long-term investment perspective rather than speculative trading, emphasizing Bitcoin’s role in corporate asset diversification [1]. The company’s ability to secure large-scale equity financing highlights strong investor confidence in its vision, though such strategies may come with dilution risks that must be carefully managed [2].

As Metaplanet moves forward with its fundraising and Bitcoin acquisition goals, the market will closely monitor the firm’s stock performance and the wider implications for the cryptocurrency sector [2].
