Metaplanet Stock Excels Amid Bitcoin Acquisition
Today, Metaplanet of Japan disclosed the issuance of Moving Strike Stock Acquisition Rights to raise a maximum of 9. 5 billion yen (about $62 million). By implementing the “At-the-Market” strategy similar to MicroStrategy, the Japanese company successfully gathered additional funds for long-term Bitcoin accumulation. This announcement closely follows Metaplanet’s recent acquisition of 124 Bitcoins, expanding its total holdings to over 1,100 BTC within a week.
The company plans to utilize the funds raised to procure more Bitcoins while solidifying its reputation as Asia’s pioneering Bitcoin Treasury Company. According to the company’s statement, this initiative will enhance the amount of BTC held per share, consequently elevating the value of each Metaplanet stock by representing a more substantial portion of the company’s overall Bitcoin assets.
