Tokyo-listed Metaplanet Inc., widely recognized for its aggressive Bitcoin treasury strategy, has issued $50 million worth of zero-interest bonds as part of its continued commitment to digital asset accumulation.
The move, disclosed in an official filing dated May 28, 2025, represents the firm’s 16th series of ordinary bonds and was fully subscribed by Evo Fund, a Cayman Islands-based investment firm.
Zero-Interest Bonds Fully Backed by Evo Fund
According to the filing, each bond carries a face value of $1.25 million and will mature on November 27, 2025. The bonds carry no interest and are redeemable at face value, with provisions for early redemption under specific conditions. Notably, Metaplanet retains flexibility in bond repurchase timing, particularly in the event of future fundraising campaigns involving Evo Fund.
The entire issuance was directly allocated to Evo Fund, a long-time supporter of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy. Evo Fund has also participated in previous funding rounds, reinforcing its alignment with the company’s long-term crypto treasury vision.
Bitcoin-Focused Strategy Lifts Share Price
The capital raised through this issuance will be used specifically to purchase more Bitcoin, continuing Metaplanet’s positioning as a major Asian corporate advocate for Bitcoin adoption. Often dubbed “Asia’s MicroStrategy”, Metaplanet is mirroring the U.S.-based firm’s aggressive approach to BTC-backed corporate finance.
Investor sentiment reacted favorably to the announcement. Metaplanet shares rose 9.5% by the end of trading in Japan on May 28, according to data from Yahoo Finance. The price surge reflects renewed market confidence in the company’s Bitcoin-centric financial strategy.
A New Chapter in Corporate Crypto Finance
With this latest bond issuance, Metaplanet is cementing its role as a pioneer in crypto-focused capital structuring within traditional financial markets. As regulatory frameworks and investor appetite evolve, Metaplanet’s continued partnership with Evo Fund signals growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term treasury asset.
