“Funds raised through the issuance of the new bonds will be partially allocated to the buyback and cancellation, with the remainder used for the purchase of Bitcoin,” Metaplanet stated.
With a bold 2025 target of 30,000 BTC, the firm still needs to accumulate over 16,000 BTC—making the second half of 2025 critical for its long-term crypto strategy.
