Institutional demand for Bitcoin continues to grow, and Metaplanet, known as the “Asian MicroStrategy,” has intensified its BTC investment strategy. Since adopting Bitcoin as a strategic financial reserve asset last May, the company has been actively purchasing, accumulating a total of 1,142,287 BTC in six months.
This movement by Metaplanet is not isolated, but part of a global trend that redefines how companies manage their treasuries. In the last month alone, more than ten companies have followed the lead of pioneers like MicroStrategy, investing significantly in Bitcoin.
This rising wave of institutional interest not only diversifies corporate portfolios, but also ushers in a new financial era. In it, digital assets like Bitcoin are consolidated as standard stores of value for governments and companies.
On December 20, Metaplanet announced the issuance of its fifth series of ordinary bonds, raising a total of $61 million through the EVO FUND. The funds will be used exclusively for the acquisition of Bitcoin, thus strengthening its treasury strategy.

The collection includes two main emissions:
- 5 billion yen ($31.9 million).
- 4.5 billion yen ($28.7 million).
Both notes will mature on June 16, 2025 and will not bear interest, reflecting the company’s commitment to Bitcoin as a long-term investment.
Simon Gerovich advances BTC purchases
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich reported that funds originally earmarked for Bitcoin purchases in 2025 will be used this year.
“The bond funds were intended for future purchases, but we have decided to move up the schedule due to current market opportunities,” Gerovich said.

With this decision, the company not only seeks to diversify its portfolio, but also consolidate itself as a leader in the institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. This strategy reflects a strong conviction in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, positioning Metaplanet as a pioneer in the sector.
I say goodbye with this phrase from Michael Saylor: «Bitcoin is the best idea. There is no second best.
