Metaplanet Bolsters Bitcoin Holdings with $255 Million Investment Round

Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed investment firm, has made significant strides in its long-term strategy to accumulate Bitcoin. The company has secured approximately $255 million from global institutional investors to support its plan.

The funding will enable Metaplanet to acquire more Bitcoin and increase its current holdings of 35,102 BTC, valued at around $2.6 billion. This positions the company as one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries globally, behind Strategy and MARA Holdings.

Strategy, the largest crypto treasury firm, is reportedly expected to announce a new Bitcoin acquisition today, following hints from Executive Chairman Michael Saylor and last week's preferred share sale that raised additional funds.
