Metaplanet Raises $13.3M via Zero-Coupon Bond to Bolster Bitcoin Reserves
Japanese hotel and investment firm Metaplanet (3350) has issued a 2 billion yen ($13.3 million) zero-coupon bond, with the proceeds designated for expanding its bitcoin (BTC) treasury. The bond is set to mature on September 30.
In a separate development, Metaplanet has secured a spot in the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (CRYP), a crypto-focused fund managing over $50 billion in assets. CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed that Metaplanet now holds the ETF’s largest weighting at 15.5%, surpassing major players like Strategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN).
The ETF, which trades on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), provides exposure to leading blockchain and crypto companies. However, CRYP has faced headwinds in 2025, with its value down 23% year-to-date.
With a total bitcoin treasury of 3,200 BTC, Metaplanet is now among the top 10 publicly traded companies with significant bitcoin holdings.
