Metaplanet Inc., based in Tokyo, has approved an additional capital contribution of up to $5 billion for its U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury Corp. These funds will be directed towards Bitcoin acquisition as part of the company's expanding global strategy.
New Investment Strategy
According to the disclosed information, the new funding will accelerate the next phase of its Bitcoin acquisition campaign, including the implementation of the '555 Million Plan' revealed earlier this month. The funds will be used to purchase more Bitcoin, supporting Metaplanet's goal of acquiring 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.
Role of Metaplanet Treasury Corp
Metaplanet Treasury Corp, established in Florida in May 2025, serves as the operational hub for U.S.-based treasury activity. The firm states that the institutional infrastructure, deep liquidity, and transparent regulations in the U.S. market make it an ideal place for executing its plans. Miami was chosen for its pro-Bitcoin stance and growing reputation as a digital asset hub.
Market Reaction and Analyst Insights
The $5 billion capital contribution is expected to be funded through the exercise of newly issued stock acquisition rights. Analysts have noted that Metaplanet's stock has increased by over 300% this year. However, there is an increasing premium built into its stock price, raising questions about sustainability and dilution risk. Investors show a strong interest in indirect Bitcoin exposure through equity markets.
Metaplanet continues to actively develop its strategy, which involves significant participation in Bitcoin. The company's future will depend on its ability to manage risks and maintain investor interest.
