Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has approved a $5 billion capital contribution to its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, marking a major step in its global expansion plan.
The announcement follows the company’s launch of its American arm last month, headquartered in Miami, Florida.
According to Tuesday’s statement, Metaplanet has completed the initial funding phase and is now entering what it calls an “aggressive expansion stage.” The capital will be sourced from the exercise of stock acquisition rights, the company confirmed.
Global Treasury Vision Tied to Corporate Bitcoin Adoption
Metaplanet, widely seen as Japan’s corporate pioneer in Bitcoin accumulation, reaffirmed that the move aligns with its long-term vision.
“While Metaplanet continues to pioneer corporate Bitcoin adoption in Japan, this U.S. expansion underscores our determination to establish a globally integrated treasury model,” the company stated.
The firm adopted its Bitcoin accumulation strategy in April 2024, positioning BTC as a strategic asset to enhance shareholder value over time. The $5 billion U.S. capital injection signals a serious commitment to leveraging the U.S. market for scaling both its treasury model and international operations.
Metaplanet has emerged as one of Asia’s most aggressive corporate Bitcoin holders, drawing comparisons to MicroStrategy’s playbook in the U.S. With its Miami-based entity now fully funded, further Bitcoin acquisitions and partnerships may soon follow.
