Metaplanet Repays Zero-Interest Bonds Early, Focuses on Bitcoin Strategy
In a strategic financial move, Metaplanet has fully repaid its ¥2 billion in zero-interest bonds ahead of schedule. This early repayment was made possible through EVO FUND’s exercise of stock warrants, showcasing Metaplanet’s strong financial discipline as it continues to prioritize its Bitcoin strategy.
Following a partial repayment of ¥1.5 billion on March 27, 2025, funded through EVO FUND’s stock warrant exercise, Metaplanet has now completely repaid its bonds. Since these bonds did not carry any interest, the early payments are expected to have minimal impact on the company’s 2025 profits.
Metaplanet has significantly increased its Bitcoin accumulation, currently holding 4,046 BTC valued at approximately $344.6 million. In the last 7 days alone, the company added 696 BTC (worth about $59.28 million), and over the past 30 days, it accumulated a total of 1,811 BTC (worth $154.26 million).
The company’s Bitcoin holdings have shown a clear upward trend since late February 2025, indicating its most active buying period to date. While many investors were panic selling during Bitcoin’s price drop, Metaplanet took a different approach by buying more and demonstrating confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
Market Woes Impact Stock Price
Despite its bullish stance on Bitcoin, Metaplanet faced challenges as Bitcoin’s price and the company’s stock value experienced significant declines. In a single day, Metaplanet’s stock fell by 20%, reflecting investor concerns about the company’s heavy exposure to cryptocurrency. Concurrently, Bitcoin saw a 10% drop, reaching $74,600 amid fears of a global trade war, marking its lowest price in weeks.
During this market downturn, Bitcoin dominance rose to 63%, its highest level since early 2021, as investors shifted away from altcoins towards Bitcoin.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich reaffirmed the company’s commitment to its Bitcoin-focused vision, emphasizing the importance of belief and resilience during market volatility. In a recent post on X, Gerovich stated, “On Bitcoin’s down days, it’s easy to focus on the price, but these are times when belief is tested and nurtured. Volatility is a natural part of an asset that is truly rare, diversified, and has long-term potential.”
Despite the challenging market conditions, Metaplanet remains steadfast in its approach, continuing to buy the dip and stay committed to its Bitcoin strategy. As the world navigates through market uncertainties, Metaplanet’s strategic moves and long-term vision position it as a key player in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
