Metaplanet, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, announced issuing $50 million in zero-coupon bonds on May 28, 2025, dedicated to expanding its Bitcoin holdings.
The bond issuance illustrates Metaplanet’s strategy shift towards digital assets, backed by institutional confidence from Evo Fund, enhancing its Bitcoin holdings.
Metaplanet initiated a new cryptocurrency investment strategy by issuing $50 million in zero-coupon bonds aimed at purchasing Bitcoin. This move reflects its ongoing shift from traditional fiat-based reserves to digital assets. The bond is part of its 16th series, offering no interest payments and maturing on November 27, 2025, with Evo Fund as the sole subscriber. Evo Fund, a Cayman Islands investment firm, has consistently supported Metaplanet’s strategy by funding multiple rounds of zero-interest bonds.
“This $50 million bond issuance is a testament to our belief in the future of Bitcoin and our commitment to enhancing our holdings in the cryptocurrency.” – MetaPlanet Executive Team, CoinCodex
The strategy underscores a significant transition towards Bitcoin acquisition in Metaplanet’s portfolio. The Bitcoin market, affected by Metaplanet’s purchase, shows sustained confidence in digital asset value. At the time of issuance, Bitcoin was trading at around $96,611. This demonstrates Metaplanet’s reliance on digital assets as a long-term investment. With no collateral or guarantees attached, the bonds depend solely on Metaplanet’s credibility for repayment.
Such moves could impel other financial entities to reassess their investment strategies regarding digital currencies. The ongoing financial support from Evo Fund suggests robust institutional trust in Metaplanet’s approach and Bitcoin as a treasury asset. As digital assets integrate further into mainstream portfolios, regulatory landscapes may adjust to accommodate growing investments in cryptocurrencies. The strategic use of unsecured bonds highlights the evolving trust dynamics in high-risk investments.
