Metaplanet fait le plein : 1,005 BTC supplémentaires viennent gonfler son trésor de 13,350 Bitcoins

Metaplanet double down sur le Bitcoin. Le géant asiatique vient d'ajouter 1,005 BTC à ses réserves, portant son trésor à 13,350 Bitcoins - un move audacieux dans un marché encore secoué par les doutes des régulateurs.

Stratégie ou coup de poker ? Alors que les banques centrales s'écharpent sur la régulation crypto, Metaplanet parie gros sur l'or numérique. De quoi faire grincer des dents à Wall Street.

Le message est clair : contrairement aux hedge funds qui suivent les tendances, Metaplanet trace sa route - quitte à laisser les sceptiques sur le carreau. Après tout, en finance, les plus grands profits naissent souvent des paris les plus controversés... jusqu'à ce qu'ils deviennent mainstream.

Metaplanet buys back previous bond issues

While financing additional BTC purchases, Metaplanet also aims to control its debt and improve its balance sheet. Along with the latest BTC addition, Metaplanet issued Series 19 of its ordinary bonds, aiming to cancel an earlier Series 3 guaranteed bonds. 

The latest bond series is for $21M, with a redemption date on December 29, 2025. The bond series is fully subscribed by one single buyer, Evo Fund. 

Evo Fund is a tier-4 venture capital firm, which specifically deals with portfolio management and has already supported Metaplanet on four occasions. The fund has only operated in Japan, but has an unannounced jurisdiction.

Metaplanet previously raised 1.7B JPY ($12.1M) through the Series 3 bonds for earlier BTC acquisitions. After a board meeting and discussions with the Bondholder Evo Fund, the company has agreed to refinance the previous bond series. The former obligation was interest-bearing and secured by collateral, while the New Bonds are non-interest bearing and unsecured. 

Evo Fund has also financed Metaplanet through several rounds of stock acquisition rights. The fund has a 555M share program, potentially giving Metaplanet up to $5.5B for more BTC acquisitions. 

By the end of the year, Metaplanet may become the second-biggest BTC holder, with predictions for a treasury at above 63,000 BTC. The stock price may continue to rise, depending on the various bullish scenarios for BTC. For now, Evo Fund is yet to exercise stock purchasing options, greatly expanding the purchasing power of Metaplanet.

Following the latest announcement, BTC staged an early-week rally, re-sparking hopes for another all-time peak. BTC rose to $108,268, with additional news of corporate purchases expected later today.
