Japan-based Metaplanet has announced plans to inject $5 billion in capital into Bitcoin (BTC) purchases.
The move is part of a bold escalation of Bitcoin financial strategy, suggesting a change in perspective by reusing it in the US.
The company has announced that its board has approved an additional capital contribution of up to $5 billion to Metaplanet Treasury Corp, a wholly owned US subsidiary based in Florida.
According to official submissions, the funds will only be used to acquire more Bitcoin. There are no assignments to operations, pay, or R&D.
The move will significantly accelerate the previously announced 555 million plans and strengthen Metaplanet’s goal of holding 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.
“As announced on May 1, 2025, the company has established Metaplanet Treasury to strengthen its global Bitcoin Finance business. With the successful completion of the initial capital phase, the company is moving into a more aggressive expansion phase.
Meanwhile, the development comes just one day after Metaplanet revealed it had acquired an additional 1,111 BTC, bringing total Bitcoin stocks to 11,111 BTC.
The company has recently brought it up to Coinbase and has become a symbol of Bitcoin’s aggressive corporate recruitment. The Playbook is likened to MicroStrategy’s financial plan, but it focuses on international focus.
From Tokyo to Florida: Jurisdiction Shift aims to maximize capital efficiency
According to Metaplanet, US subsidiary allows for the excellent execution of large-scale Bitcoin acquisitions.
“The US as the world’s outstanding financial center provides the best conditions for efficient and large-scale acquisition and management of Bitcoin,” Filing explained.
The company also reaffirmed that capital injections are fully funded by exercising its 20th-22nd share acquisition rights. The guidelines are warrant-like structures that allow for pre-fighted capital inflows as the company’s stock price rises.
Industry observers say the move reflects a form of jurisdictional arbitration. Bitcoin enthusiast Adam Livingston describes the Metaplanet movement as leveraging the deep liquidity, lucrative regulations and mature capital infrastructure of the US financial system.
“Metaplanet is moving beyond Japan’s limited capital markets and regulatory framework. Japan will become an R&D center, while the US will become another capital intensive and BTC acquisition engine,” Livingston wrote in the post.
With the use of funds that are expected to remain neglected, Metaplanet is avoiding diluting Bitcoin-First papers. All revenue will be directed towards the purchase of additional Bitcoin.
“100% of this $5 billion is in the acquisition of raw Bitcoin, and we’re probably not even bullish,” added Livingstone.
In particular, the immediate impact on consolidated finances is expected to be limited this fiscal year limit. Nevertheless, the long-term impact could position Metaplanet as a global leader in innovation in Bitcoin-based capital markets.
Metaplanet’s strategy represents one of the boldest bets on Bitcoin in corporate history, with pre-baked, clarity of regulations at hand, and 210,000 BTC visible.
Elsewhere, it also shows that Fidelity, along with other assets, added more than $105 million in value to Crypto Treasury.
Analysts say this is a strong confidence signal. The increase in corporate BTC adoption presents Pioneer’s code as a flight to security amid growing geopolitical tensions.
