Metaplanet seeks $137 million to accumulate more Bitcoin

3 min read

Metaplanet plans to raise $137 million (¥20.7 billion) through a new stock offering and warrants to purchase more Bitcoin. The firm’s board met on Thursday and announced that the new shares and acquisition rights will be issued through a third-party allotment.

The Tokyo-listed firm will issue 24.5 million new common shares at $3.25 per share, with the allotment date set for February 13, 2026. The sale aims to raise about (¥12.2 billion)

Metaplanet’s payment of stock offering and warrants is set for February 13

Metaplanet also plans to issue 159,440 stock acquisition rights at $3.41 per right, which can be converted into roughly 15.9 million shares. The company’s stock will have an exercise period from February 16, 2026, to February 15, 2027. The payment and allotment date for the stock acquisition rights is set for February 13. The stocks aim to raise about $57.3 million (¥8.8 billion).

The Japanese firm revealed that approximately $91.2 million (¥14 billion) of the funds will be set aside for purchasing Bitcoin. Metaplanet also plans to use $9.78 million (¥1.5 billion) to support its Bitcoin income-generation business. The remaining funds, around $33.2 million (¥5.1 billion), will be used to pay the company’s debts.

Metaplanet’s focus on buying more Bitcoin shows the firm is doubling down on its BTC treasury strategy in 2026. The initiative follows the board’s recent approval of its plan to acquire 210,000 BTC (1% of Bitcoin’s supply) by 2027. The firm revealed that the process will happen in stages, and its subsidiary, Metaplanet Lightning Capital, will manage its holdings.

The Japanese company said it expects minimal impact on its 2026 financial results. Metaplanet also promised to disclose any major changes later if needed. The firm added that it will continue to value its BTC holdings at market price quarterly and record gains or losses in its earnings.

At the time of publication, Metaplanet has about 35,102 BTC in its holdings, worth more than $308 billion at current Bitcoin prices. The firm recently purchased 4,279 BTC for $452 million at $105,412 per coin during the previous quarter.

Metaplanet’s holdings remain at a loss due to BTC’s price drop

The firm now ranks fourth among Bitcoin treasury firms, with Strategy leading with 712,647 BTC. The Japanese company revealed that it generated about $58.2 million in revenue last year from Bitcoin options and lending strategies. 

Asia’s largest holder of Bitcoin recently raised ¥75 billion (159 million shares) through a MERCURY Class B perpetual share offering. Metaplanet revealed that the funds were for its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, debt management, and income-generating businesses.

Crytpopolitan recently reported that Metaplanet issued a positive outlook for Bitcoin’s medium- to long-term prospects. The firm revealed that its goal is to become one of the top global corporate Bitcoin holders by August 2026.

At the time of publication, Bitcoin is trading at $87,800, down more than 2.3% in the past 24 hours. BTC’s price has remained unchanged YTD, but has dropped roughly 20.6% in the past 90 days.

Metaplanet revealed that the drop in Bitcoin’s price has led to a loss of approximately $680 million on its BTC holdings. However, the firm currently has 1.1 billion issued shares with an average daily volume of 29.85 million in Q4 2025.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
