To power their Bitcoin buying spree, Metaplanet has been busy selling bonds, having issued their 6th Series of Ordinary Bonds in February 2025.
In February, these bond offerings pulled in $26.4 million from EVO FUND as zero-coupon bonds, meaning they won't accrue interest over time.
Metaplanet acted fast to reduce its debt load, repaying $13.2 million of its bonds early by February 19.
They continued this streak of early repayments, clearing another $13.2 million by February 21, signaling their robust financial health.
Come February 27, Metaplanet was already floating a fresh batch of bonds valued at $13.2 million, marking their 7th Series of Ordinary Bonds.
These new bonds are set to mature on August 26, 2025, giving the company a six-month timeframe to manage their finances.
With future Bitcoin investments in mind, Metaplanet intends to settle these bonds by leveraging proceeds from stock acquisition rights.
Bitcoin has become an integral part of Metaplanet's official business strategy, guiding their operations in the capital markets and shaping their asset accumulation plan.
