Metaplanet repays $13.5M bonds early

Metaplanet, a Japanese company that has become one of the world's largest corporate Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) holders, has repaid 2 billion yen ($13.5 million) in bonds ahead of schedule.

This move is part of its strategy to strengthen its financial position while continuing to expand its Bitcoin holdings.

The company repaid the zero-interest bonds on April 4, more than five months before their maturity date.

These bonds were issued in March to fund additional Bitcoin purchases, contributing to Metaplanet's current holdings of 4,206 BTC.

This significant accumulation is part of a broader plan to acquire up to 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026, positioning Metaplanet as a major player in the global Bitcoin market.

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich has embraced Bitcoin's volatility, viewing it as a natural aspect of a rare and diversified asset with long-term potential.

"Bitcoin’s volatility is a natural part of an asset that is truly rare, diversified, and has long-term potential," Gerovich stated in a recent social media post.

The company's aggressive Bitcoin strategy has been successful, with Metaplanet achieving a remarkable 95.6% BTC yield in the first quarter of 2025.

This performance underscores the firm's commitment to maximising shareholder value through strategic Bitcoin acquisitions.

Despite recent market downturns triggered by U.S. trade tariffs, Metaplanet remains bullish on Bitcoin.

The company's early bond repayment demonstrates its financial stability and ability to navigate challenging market conditions while pursuing its ambitious Bitcoin accumulation goals.
