Metaplanet, a Japanese hotel manager turned Bitcoin treasury company, has fully repaid 2 billion yen ($13.5 million) worth of bonds ahead of schedule as it seeks to shore up its financial position.<\/p>\n
Metaplanet conducted an early redemption of its 9th Series of Ordinary Bonds on April 4, more than five months before the maturity date, the company disclosed<\/a> on April 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n The zero-interest bonds<\/a> were issued in March through Metaplanet\u2019s Evo Fund and used to acquire additional Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>). Since the bonds carry zero interest, the repayment would not have a material impact on the company\u2019s fiscal 2025 results, it said.<\/p>\n Source: <\/em>Metaplanet<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Metaplanet, which trades publicly on the Tokyo stock exchange, has made Bitcoin the center of its corporate strategy through a series of acquisitions<\/a>. The company\u2019s Bitcoin balance has swelled to 4,206 BTC, placing it among the top 10 publicly traded holders.\u00a0<\/p>\n The acquisitions are part of a broader strategy disclosed in January that could see Metaplanet purchase up to 21,000 BTC<\/a> by the end of 2026. At the time, the company said it planned to raise more than $700 million to help fund its Bitcoin buying spree. <\/p>\n Related: <\/strong><\/em>Metaplanet share price rises 4,800% as company stacks BTC<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Metaplanet has seemingly embraced Bitcoin\u2019s volatility, having adopted a buy-the-dip mentality<\/a> to acquire more of the digital asset.\u00a0<\/p>\n Over the weekend, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich called Bitcoin\u2019s volatility \u201ca natural part of an asset that is truly rare, diversified, and has long-term potential,\u201d according to a translated version of his social media post.\u00a0<\/p>\n Source: <\/em>Simon Gerovich<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Bitcoin\u2019s price is under renewed pressure<\/a> as part of a global sell-off in risk assets stemming from US President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariff announcement<\/a> last week.
