The post Metaplanet Repays ¥2B Bonds Early Amid Growing Bitcoin Strategy appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
In a strategic financial move, Metaplanet has fully repaid its ¥2 billion in zero-interest bonds months ahead of schedule. Funded through EVO FUND’s exercise of stock warrants, the early payoff helps streamline the company’s balance sheet without denting earnings. The move signals strong capital management as Metaplanet doubles down on its Bitcoin-focused strategy.
This full repayment follows an earlier ¥1.5 billion partial payoff on March 27, 2025, funded through EVO FUND’s exercise of stock warrants. Since the bonds carried no interest, the move is expected to have minimal impact on Metaplanet’s 2025 earnings.
Metaplanet Stacks More Bitcoin
Metaplanet has significantly ramped up its Bitcoin accumulation, now holding 4,046 BTC valued at approximately $344.6 million. Over the past 7 days alone, the company added 696 BTC (worth about $59.28 million), and over the last 30 days, it accumulated a total of 1,811 BTC (worth $154.26 million).
The chart clearly shows a sharp upward trend in its holdings starting from late February 2025, marking its most aggressive buying phase to date. While the market saw widespread panic selling, Metaplanet made its largest Bitcoin purchase yet, doubling down on its long-term bet on digital assets.
Metaplanet is feeling the heat as Bitcoin prices drop. Its stock plunged 20% in a single day, reflecting investor concern over its heavy crypto exposure. Meanwhile, Bitcoin crashed 10% in 24 hours, falling to $74,600 amid rising global trade war fears. This marks its lowest level in weeks, as investors rushed to reduce risk. Bitcoin dominance surged to 63%, its highest since early 2021, highlighting the broader market’s retreat from altcoins.
MetaPlanet CEO Simon Gerovich reaffirmed the company’s confidence in Bitcoin. “On Bitcoin’s down days, it’s easy to focus on the price, but these are times when belief is tested and nurtured. Volatility is a natural part of an asset that is truly rare, diversified, and has long-term potential,” he emphasized in a latest X post.
