In a statement released on May 9, the company stated that  “funds raised will be allocated to the purchase of Bitcoin” through a $21 million issue of “0 percent Ordinary Bonds.”.

 

The holder of a zero-coupon bond receives no interest. They are typically issued at a significant discount to their full value, which is paid to the holder upon maturity.

The company announced it would issue 14th Stock Acquisition Rights to Cayman Islands investment management company EVO Fund, with a November 7 redemption date following its most recent board of directors meeting on May 9.

The Tokyo-listed company revealed on May 7 that it had paid $ 53.4 million to purchase 555 Bitcoin at an average price of $96,134. The business currently owns 5,555 Bitcoin, which were acquired for $481.52 million at an average price of $86,672.

Metaplanet announced on May 7 that it would issue $25 million in zero-coupon ordinary bonds to finance additional Bitcoin purchases.

Metaplanet created Metaplanet Treasury, a fully owned US subsidiary in Florida. To expand its Bitcoin strategy and access US capital markets, it intends to raise $250 million. As a result of Michael Saylor’s company’s Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, an increasing number of businesses have chosen to include Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
