Japanese investment firm Metaplanet Inc. announced the issuance of one-year ordinary bonds totaling 1.75 billion yen ($11.3 million) to purchase additional bitcoin.
The Tokyo-listed company said on Monday that its board of directors had resolved to issue the bonds for an annual interest rate of 0.36%, with the funds raised intended to be used for purchasing bitcoin. The redemption date is set for Nov. 17, 2025.
“More bitcoin purchases incoming,” Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplenet, wrote on X today.
Metaplanet has been on a bitcoin buying spree in recent months following its May announcement to adopt bitcoin as a strategic treasury reserve asset.

Metaplanet’s stock closed up 0.81% at 1,994 yen on Monday in Japan. Its stock price has risen 1,146% year-to-date, according to Google Finance. The Nikkei 225 index was down 1.09% today.
