Metaplanet Repays $13 Million in Bonds Early, Accelerating Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Tokyo, Japan — Metaplanet Inc. has officially completed the early repayment of its entire Series 9 Regular Bonds, totaling JPY2 billion (approximately USD13.5 million), it announced on April 7.
This is a notable financial move that reflects the company’s flexible strategy and long-term commitment to becoming one of Asia’s leading Bitcoin accumulators.
Prepayment of Zero-Coupon Bonds – A Bold Move
Originally scheduled to mature in September 2025, the zero-coupon bonds were issued on March 18, 2025 to the EVO FUND investment fund.
However, in less than a month, Metaplanet has:
Repurchased JPY1.5 billion on March 27.
The remaining 500 million yen was paid on April 4.
The entire amount used for the buyback comes from the exercise of warrants (stock purchase rights) under Series 13 to 17, which are also allocated to EVO FUND.
The early repayment of the bonds, which will not create any financial burden due to interest, will have a minimal impact on the 2025 business results, according to Metaplanet.
Metaplanet and Long-Term Bitcoin Vision
Metaplanet Inc., formerly known as Red Planet Japan, is now positioning itself as a “Bitcoin treasury company” – a trend that is becoming increasingly popular among global businesses.
The company is currently listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and is pursuing a long-term strategy of accumulating Bitcoin as a core strategic asset.
On April 2, Metaplanet:
Buy another 160 BTC at an average price of $80,063/BTC.
Total transaction value: ~$13.39 million.
Current BTC holdings: 4,206 BTC.
Target: 21,000 BTC by 2026
According to its previously announced strategy, Metaplanet aims to:
Hold more than 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
Reach 21,000 BTC by 2026, equivalent to Bitcoin's limited supply.
If achieved, Metaplanet will become the largest Bitcoin holding company in Asia, surpassing names such as Nexon (Korea) or private equity funds in Singapore and Hong Kong.
The Importance of This Move
Amid market uncertainty due to trade wars and new global tax policies, companies are turning to Bitcoin as a “digital gold” to protect assets and increase long-term value. Metaplanet is proving that it is not just talking, but taking decisive action.
The early bond repayment shows:
Strong financial health.
Ability to raise capital effectively from the stock market.
Clear commitment to a BTC holding strategy.
“We believe Bitcoin is the great asset of the 21st century – and we are building the future of finance around it.”
