Japanese company Metaplanet to raise $881 million for Bitcoin purchases

Japanese company Metaplanet plans to raise $881 million through an international share offering and spend nearly all of the proceeds to expand its Bitcoin treasury.

In a statement filed with the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the company said that about $837 million will be used to buy Bitcoin between September and October 2025, while $43.9 million will be allocated to other financial operations.

As of August 25, Metaplanet held 18,991 BTC worth around $2.12 billion, making it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia, according to BitcoinTreasuries.Net.

The company continues to aggressively expand its holdings — it recently purchased 775 BTC worth $93 million and an additional 103 BTC worth $11.7 million.

According to The Block, public companies collectively own more than 770,000 BTC. Metaplanet executives point to this trend, positioning Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset. The corporate Bitcoin treasury giant MicroStrategy remains the leader among institutional buyers.

Michael Saylor’s company holds a staggering 632,457 BTC, now valued at more than $70 billion.
