Good day everyone,
I hope you are all having a good day, welcome to CryptoGod-1's blog on all things crypto. In this post I will be looking at the Japanese investment firm aiming to secure 210,000 Bitcoin in the coming years.
555 Million Bitcoin
The Japanese investment firm, Metaplanet, have managed to raise $517.8m by issuing 10% of their planned 555 million shares with each being sold at $9.59. This comes as part of their Bitcoin-focused strategy as the firm makes a pivot towards crypto. This was the first day of their “555 Million Plan” which signals the strong early momentum behind one of Asia’s largest crypto-focused capital raises.
In a filing on Wednesday the funding was secured via the issuance of 54 million new shares after EVO Fund exercised a portion of its stock acquisition rights. Metaplanet are aiming to raise as much as $5.4 billion through their 555m plan and the overall goal is to acquire 210,000 Bitcoin before the end of 2027. That would equate to around 1% of the total supply.
This effort saw shares issued at ¥1,388 each, or about $9.59, and the issuance accounted for around 10% of the total 555m shares the company plans to release. Recently the Metaplanet board approved to commit up to $5b to its US subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury Corp, which is based in Florida. The American arm will manage the Bitcoin acquisitions and treasury operations which it will also tap into deeper US capital markets and institutional infrastructure to support the company’s global strategy.
The aim of Metaplanet will be to follow in the footsteps of Strategy, which to date have managed to acquire more than 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply through equity raises. A similar approcat by Metaplanet will see them look to positions themselves as a digital asset leader within Japanese capital markets. The company have stated that 96% of funds raised will go toward Bitcoin purchases.
