Metaplanet Launches ¥116B Warrant Program, Bitcoin Holdings Surge 3.9x
Metaplanet Inc., Japan's leading Bitcoin treasury company, has launched a ¥116 billion 'moving-strike' warrant program, the largest and lowest-cost equity financing of its kind in Japan. This comes as the company celebrates remarkable growth since adopting the Bitcoin Treasury Standard in 2024.
Metaplanet, which became Japan's first Bitcoin Treasury company in 2024 under the name Jiuzi Holdings, has seen its BTC net asset value soar by 103.1x and its market cap grow by 138.1x since then. As of May 12, the company held ¥13.5 billion in unrealized gains in Bitcoin, demonstrating its resilience despite temporary valuation losses.
The company's success has been accompanied by a significant increase in its shareholder base, growing from 10,854 in December 2023 to 63,654 by March 2025. Metaplanet's commitment to the Bitcoin Treasury Standard was further reinforced in 2025 with the addition of over 5,000 BTC to its treasury.
In its latest quarterly report, Metaplanet revealed impressive financial results. Revenue reached ¥877 million, marking an 8% increase quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), while operating profit hit a record ¥593 million, up 11% QoQ. The company's Bitcoin holdings also skyrocketed to 6,796 BTC, a 3.9x increase year-to-date. This growth has led to a surge in total assets, which reached ¥55.0 billion, up 81%, and a soaring of net assets to ¥50.4 billion, a 197% increase QoQ.
Metaplanet Inc. has reported its strongest quarter to date for Q1 FY2025, with significant growth in both its Bitcoin holdings and overall financial performance. The company's innovative 'moving-strike' warrant program and steadfast commitment to the Bitcoin Treasury Standard have positioned it as a leader in Japan's cryptocurrency landscape.
