Japanese investment firm Metaplanet plans to raise 555 billion yen ($3.73 billion) through a stock offering to expand its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

Metaplanet will issue perpetual preferred shares that offer up to a 6% annual dividend, depending on market demand and conditions. The firm stated:
“The Company intends to actively pursue equity financing as part of its ‘Bitcoin Strategy,’ which aims to acquire 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.”
This offering supports Metaplanet’s long-term focus on building a large Bitcoin reserve. The company also described its approach as issuing Bitcoin-backed preferred shares for equity financing.
Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries Surpass $100B
Metaplanet’s move follows reports that corporate Bitcoin treasuries have now reached over $100 billion. Of this, $93 billion comes from companies holding Bitcoin directly, signaling ongoing institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, also raised funds recently. On July 22, Strategy introduced a Bitcoin-backed stock pegged to $100 per share, offering an initial monthly dividend equivalent to 9% annually.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury plan aligns with similar actions by firms accumulating Bitcoin through equity financing. Corporate participation continues to increase, strengthening the link between Bitcoin and institutional treasuries.
Bitcoin Linked to Global M2 Money Supply Growth
Analyst Jamie Coutts shared data connecting Bitcoin’s price to the growth of the global M2 money supply.

The research noted that expanding corporate Bitcoin holdings, along with rising money supply levels, has historically aligned with upward price trends for Bitcoin.
Additionally, a report by Matrixport highlighted potential fiscal developments in the United States. It stated:
“Attention will likely shift to fiscal matters once Congress reconvenes after Labor Day on September 2.”
The report added that fiscal conditions have previously supported demand for hard assets like Bitcoin.
Fed Rate Decision to Influence Bitcoin Markets
Data from the CME Group’s FedWatch tool shows a 60.8% probability that the U.S. Federal Reserve will maintain its current interest rate at its next meeting on Sept. 17.
This aligns with recent steady rate policies. Analysts have tracked how central bank decisions and fiscal policy shifts can influence Bitcoin markets during periods of reduced liquidity.
Metaplanet’s $3.7B funding plan places it alongside major corporate players like Strategy, reflecting the continued integration of Bitcoin into institutional treasury strategies.
