Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has unveiled plans to raise approximately 555 billion yen (around $3.73 billion) via a new stock offering, reinforcing its bold strategy to amass a significant Bitcoin reserve.
Often referred to as “Asia’s Strategy,” Metaplanet announced Friday that it will issue perpetual preferred shares designed to help fund its long-term goal of accumulating 210,000 BTC (currently priced near $115,640 each) by the close of 2027. These shares may provide investors with annual dividends of up to 6%, depending on market dynamics and demand.
“As part of our broader Bitcoin initiative, we intend to actively engage in equity fundraising,” the company said. “Launching Bitcoin-backed preferred shares is a pioneering step toward bridging a clear market gap.”
This funding push closely follows new data showing corporate treasuries with crypto exposure now exceed $100 billion in total assets—of which $93 billion is held in Bitcoin. Continued institutional buying from players like Metaplanet and Strategy, combined with global monetary expansion, could help drive BTC’s price beyond $132,000 before the end of 2025, based on its correlation with the M2 money supply.
Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin worldwide, has also recently revealed new capital-raising strategies. On July 22, it introduced a novel Bitcoin-pegged equity offering priced at $100 per share, offering a projected 9% annual dividend.
Macro Trends Point Toward September Catalyst for Bitcoin
Although market activity has slowed over the summer months, a potential monetary catalyst for Bitcoin could emerge in early September.
According to a report from Matrixport released Friday, political and fiscal developments may take center stage once U.S. lawmakers return from recess on September 2. The report noted that:
“Periods of fiscal uncertainty have often acted as strong support for hard assets, with Bitcoin continuing to lead the conversation.”
The note also emphasized that despite events like U.S. Crypto Week and institutional accumulation, the most impactful macro trigger may be “hiding in plain sight.”
As of now, traders are assigning a 60.8% probability that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady at its upcoming September 17 policy meeting, according to CME Group’s FedWatch tool.
