Metaplanet Sells $13M in Zero-Coupon Bonds to Fund Bitcoin Purchases

Metaplanet Raises $13.3M via Zero-Coupon Bond to Boost Bitcoin Reserves

Japanese hotel operator Metaplanet (3350) has issued a 2 billion yen ($13.3 million) zero-coupon bond, with proceeds allocated toward increasing its bitcoin (BTC) holdings. The bond will mature on September 30.

Additionally, Metaplanet has been included in the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (CRYP), which manages over $50 billion in assets, according to CEO Simon Gerovich.

The company now holds the largest position in the ETF at 15.5%, overtaking major crypto firms such as Strategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN), which rank second and third, respectively.

CRYP, which trades on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), offers exposure to companies leading innovation in the crypto and blockchain space. However, the ETF has struggled in 2025, down 23% year-to-date.

Metaplanet now ranks among the top 10 publicly traded companies holding bitcoin, with a treasury of 3,200 BTC.
