Second official statement , the financing was made possible after the EVO Fund exercised 540.000 share acquisition rights, converting them into the newly issued shares. This conversion represents 29% of the company's 20th series of warrants, leaving approximately 1,31 million rights remaining, which is equivalent to an additional 131 million potential shares.
“74,9 billion yen in equity raised on the first day of the ‘555 million plan’ through the issuance of 54 million shares through the exercise of the 20th series of share acquisition rights,” Metaplanet said in a statement.
The move comes on the heels of an ambitious plan that calls for the issuance of 555 million shares — about 92% of the current total outstanding — to raise $5,4 billion in capital with the goal of acquiring up to 30.000 bitcoins by the end of 2025.
In the long term, the company plans to expand this number to 100.000 BTC by 2026 and reach a target of 210.000 BTC by 2027. If this is achieved, Metaplanet will join a select group of companies with at least 1% of the total fixed supply of 21 million bitcoins. Currently, only Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy is in this group, with 592.345 BTC accumulated since 2020.
Metaplanet currently holds 11.111 BTC, including a recent purchase of 1.111 units made on Monday. The company also plans to invest $5 billion in its U.S. subsidiary as part of its global expansion strategy.
Despite the magnitude of the announcement, Metaplanet shares fell 5% in the following trading session, according to data from Yahoo Finance.
