Metaplanet Invests $5 Billion in US Subsidiary to Buy More Bitcoin

Metaplanet, headquartered in Japan, announced plans to invest $5 billion for Bitcoin (BTC) purchases.

This move represents a bold expansion of Bitcoin Treasury strategy, suggesting a shift in perspective with relocation to the United States.

Metaplanet Strengthens Bitcoin Strategy... Injecting $5 Billion in US Capital

The company announced that it will contribute up to $5 billion in additional capital to Metaplanet Treasury Corporation, a fully owned US subsidiary headquartered in Florida, with board approval.

According to official documents, the funds will be used solely for additional Bitcoin purchases. They will not be allocated to operations, salaries, or research and development.

This move significantly accelerates the company's previously announced $555 million plan, reinforcing Metaplanet's goal of holding 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.

"As mentioned in the announcement on May 1, 2025... the company established Metaplanet Treasury Corporation to strengthen global Bitcoin financial operations... As the initial capitalization stage has been successfully completed, the company is moving into a more aggressive expansion phase." – Company document announcement.

Meanwhile, this development occurred just a day after Metaplanet announced acquiring an additional 1,111 BTC, increasing its total Bitcoin holdings to 11,111 BTC.

After recently surpassing Coinbase's holdings, Metaplanet has become a symbol of aggressive corporate Bitcoin adoption. This strategy is similar to MicroStrategy's financial plan but with a sharper international focus.

From Tokyo to Florida... Aiming to Maximize Capital Efficiency

According to Metaplanet, the US subsidiary is expected to proceed with highly efficient and proactive large-scale Bitcoin purchases.

"The United States, the world's premier financial center, provides optimal conditions for efficient and large-scale Bitcoin purchasing and management." – Document description.

The company also reaffirmed that the capital injection will be fully funded by exercising acquisition rights from the 20th to 22nd stocks. This guideline is similar to a warrant-like structure that allows pre-planned capital inflows as the company's stock price rises.

Industry observers suggest this move reflects a form of jurisdictional arbitrage. Bitcoin enthusiast Adam Livingston describes Metaplanet's movement as leveraging the deep liquidity, favorable regulations, and mature capital infrastructure of the US financial system.

"Metaplanet is going beyond Japan's limited capital markets and regulatory framework... Japan will become a research and development center, while the US will be another capital aggregation and BTC acquisition engine." – Livingston's post.

With the use of funds expected to remain unchanged, Metaplanet is not diluting its Bitcoin-first approach. All proceeds will be used for additional Bitcoin purchases.

"100% of these $5 billion will be used for pure Bitcoin purchases. It cannot be more bullish." – Livingston added.

Notably, the immediate impact on integrated finances is expected to be limited in the current fiscal year. However, long-term effects could position Metaplanet as a global leader in Bitcoin-based capital market innovation.

With capital prepared in advance, regulatory clarity secured, and a target of 210,000 BTC set, Metaplanet's strategy represents one of the most bold Bitcoin bets in corporate history.

Elsewhere, there are reports that Fidelity has added over $105.5 million in Bitcoin to its own cryptocurrency holdings.

Analysts say this is a strong confidence signal. Increasing corporate BTC adoption presents the pioneering cryptocurrency as a safe haven amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
