Metaplanet, a Japanese investment company, has announced plans to raise funds in international markets to extend its Bitcoin (BTC) purchase program through September and October.
Fundraising Plans
Metaplanet has announced its intention to raise approximately $881 million through a new international share offering. This move will allow the company to expand its BTC acquisition program. Fundraising will take place in international markets, with restrictions on sales to US investors.
Additional Offering Details
The new share offering is expected to occur between September 9 and September 11. This will add 555 million shares to the company's balance, bringing the total share count to 1.2 billion. This step follows the suspension of stock acquisition rights by the Evo Fund, one of the major buyers of Metaplanet's shares.
Market Conditions and Company Positions
As of August 2025, Metaplanet owns 18,991 BTC, nearly doubling its target for 2025. The company is refraining from additional comments regarding its offering until it is completed. Recently, MTPLF shares have decreased to $5.72, while Metaplanet continues to show long-term confidence in BTC amid international purchase interest.
Despite market fluctuations, Metaplanet remains committed to its BTC investments. The new international fundraising round highlights the company's intention to increase its presence in the cryptocurrency sector.
