[Ben Graham]

Japan’s Metaplanet has raised an astonishing $517 million in a single day, earmarked exclusively for the purchase of additional Bitcoin. 

Known as Japan’s Strategy, Metaplanet announced on 25 June 2025 that it had successfully raised ¥74.9 billion (approx $517 million) in equity capital. This single-day raise stands out as the largest Bitcoin-related capital raising effort by a Japanese company.

The ‘555 Million Plan’ by Metaplanet

Metaplanet’s latest round of funds were raised on the first day of the company’s ‘555 Million Plan’ through the issuance of 54 million shares, executed via the exercise of its 20th series of stock acquisition rights.

This model could serve as a blueprint for other corporations seeking to diversify their treasuries. Or hedge against fiat currency devaluation. Could this blueprint especially pick up in regions experiencing economic uncertainty or negative interest rates?

This single-day raise stands out as one of the largest capital-raising efforts by a Japanese company specifically targeting Bitcoin investment.
