Japan-based investment firm Metaplanet is eyeing a 555 billion yen ($3.7 billion) capital raise as part of its \u201cBitcoin Strategy,\u201d which aims to accumulate 210,000 Bitcoin (BTC) by the end of 2027, the company announced today.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet Seeks $3.7 Billion Raise To Buy More BTC<\/h2>\n

According to the announcement, Metaplanet plans to raise $3.7 billion through a stock offering. The proceeds will be used to fund its Bitcoin Strategy, which targets the acquisition of 210,000 BTC by year-end 2027.<\/p>\n

Notably, the company said it will issue perpetual preference shares to finance the Bitcoin Strategy initiative. These shares will offer up to a 6% annual dividend, subject to market conditions, interest rates, and investor demand.<\/p>\n

While the issuance of new shares has raised concerns about potential dilution for existing shareholders, Metaplanet stated that the projected increase in BTC Yield would generate sufficient corporate value to offset the impact.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, BTC Yield measures how much the company\u2019s Bitcoin holdings are increasing over time relative to its total share base. It is calculated by dividing the rate of change in BTC held by the company by the fully diluted number of outstanding common shares.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s statement comes just over two weeks after Metaplanet added<\/a> 800 BTC to its balance sheet. According to CoinGecko data, the company currently ranks sixth among corporate Bitcoin holders, with a total of 17,132 BTC.<\/p>\n

Companies Anticipating Further Bitcoin Upside?<\/h2>\n

Following Donald Trump\u2019s victory in the November 2024 US presidential election, optimism<\/a> around crypto-friendly regulatory reforms has encouraged several global corporations to increase their exposure to digital assets.<\/p>\n

For example, NYSE-listed Marti Technologies recently announced<\/a> plans to convert 20% of its cash reserves into BTC. Similarly, MARA Holdings completed<\/a> a $950 million raise aimed at expanding its Bitcoin exposure.<\/p>\n

Besides the above mentioned companies, several UK-based firms such as Satsuma Technology<\/a> and The Smarter Web Company<\/a> have also made moves to bolster their BTC reserves.\u00a0This renewed institutional interest is further supported by positive macroeconomic signals. <\/p>\n

According<\/a> to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange\u2019s (CME) FedWatch tool, there is a 78.8% probability that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its September 17 meeting \u2013 a move that could benefit risk-on assets like Bitcoin. At press time, BTC trades at $115,189, down 2.8% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
