BlockBeats News, August 27th: Japanese publicly traded company Metaplanet announced that it plans to raise funds through an international stock offering, with the expected net proceeds from the international offering around 130.334 billion Japanese yen (approximately 881 million USD), intended for:

· Purchase of Bitcoin: 123.818 billion Japanese yen (837 million USD)

· Bitcoin Financial Operations: 6.516 billion Japanese yen (44 million USD)

Metaplanet stated that given Japan's current severe economic situation—including high levels of national debt, long-term real negative interest rates, and the continuous devaluation of the yen—the company, as disclosed in the May 13, 2024 publication "Metaplanet's Strategic Financial Transformation and Bitcoin Adoption," has adjusted its financial management policy by strategically positioning Bitcoin (BTC) as its primary reserve asset. This decision aims to hedge against the asset risks posed by yen devaluation and leverage Bitcoin's long-term appreciation potential. Through the raised funds, the company plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings in the future and believes that this approach can shield its finances from yen devaluation, mitigate inflation risks, and achieve sustained growth in enterprise value.

To further advance this policy, the company intends to use the 123.818 billion Japanese yen raised from the international offering to purchase Bitcoin between September and October 2025. As of August 25, 2025, the company holds 18,991 BTC, valued at approximately 314.6 billion Japanese yen.

Since holding Bitcoin does not generate interest or returns on its own, as part of Bitcoin financial operations, the company generates revenue through selling put options. As disclosed in the August 13, 2025 publication "FY2025 Q2 Interim Financial Report (Japanese GAAP, Consolidated)," the company recorded sales revenue of 1.904 billion Japanese yen in the second quarter of the fiscal year 2025 from this business. The company aims to achieve annual operating profits by accumulating profits throughout the year. Therefore, the company plans to allocate the 6.516 billion Japanese yen raised from the international offering to increase the margin for put option sales in this business from September to December 2025.
