Get Ready for Major Shifts in the Crypto World
Metaplanet, a hotel operator turned Bitcoin accumulator, has got the crypto market buzzing with its latest move. The company aims to launch one of the biggest-ever equity raises dedicated to buying Bitcoin!
The CEO, Simon Gerovich, announced plans to mobilize ¥770.9 billion ($5.4 billion) through issuing 555 million shares via moving strike warrants[1]. Moving strike warrants are a common strategy in Japan, allowing holders the right to buy or sell the underlying asset with a variable strike price[5].
This capital influx follows Metaplanet's successful strategy to purchase 100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027[1]. This ambitious plan would give Metaplanet a 1% share of all BTC ever circulating[1].
Currently, Metaplanet boasts one of the top 10 corporate holdings of Bitcoin, with BitcoinTreasuries.net placing them just behind Coinbase Global[1]. Metaplanet's stock has seen a significant boost, with shares trading at ¥1,554, up 15% at the time of writing and a staggering 24% increase since last Friday[1].
Gerovich took to the social media platform X to express his gratitude to the company's shareholders, stating, "We are honored to be on this journey with you. Metaplanet is accelerating into the future - powered by Bitcoin"[1].
