Breaking down our latest raise. Our single KPI is Bitcoin per share. Every capital decision we make gets measured against that. After our last institutional offering, we heard from shareholders that they wanted us to think differently about how we raise capital. The demand was still clear: more Bitcoin. So here's what we did.
Japanese PIPEs typically price at a ~10% discount to market. We sold shares at a 2% premium to market and packaged our equity vol into fixed-strike warrants at a 10% premium. The company gets immediate capital to grow the Bitcoin balance sheet. If the stock goes higher and warrants are exercised, we receive additional capital at a price above today's market. The investors get to express a view on volatility. This isn't zero-sum. Both sides can win.
This is the same playbook MSTR pioneered with convertible bonds. A 0% coupon convert was a bond and an embedded call option packaged into one security. The coupon was zero because the embedded option on a levered BTC vehicle was so valuable it replaced the coupon entirely. The bondholder wasn't lending for free. They were paying for vol. Saylor understood this before anyone else in BTC and it unlocked a new paradigm for Bitcoin treasury capital formation.
Same principle, different wrapper. We used stock plus warrants instead of converts, so there's no debt, no maturity risk, no overhang, no ongoing dividend or interest payments. The capital structure stays clean with no debt sitting above equity holders, and that's by design. When we issue preferred shares, the balance sheet underneath needs to be pristine. Every Bitcoin we add strengthens that foundation. The bigger the base, the more credible the credit. We are intentionally building this to become the dominant issuer of Bitcoin backed fixed income instruments in Japan.
And finally, we run one of the most active BTC derivatives books in the world. Every scenario here has been stress tested and is being managed, including the tail risk on future warrant exercise. We built this company around Bitcoin volatility and BTC Yield. This is what we do.
This is permanent capital with no ongoing cost. The proceeds go to Bitcoin. ~$255M now. Up to ~$531M on exercise. March toward 210,000 BTC continues.

Metaplanet has issued 100 million Moving Strike Warrants with a first-of-its-kind mNAV clause. Exercise is only permitted when the stock trades above 1.01x mNAV, ensuring every share issued increases shareholder value. This enables the company to raise an estimated $234M in additional capital to buy BTC, unlocked only when it's accretive to BTC per share. $MPJPY

Metaplanet has raised ~$255m from global institutional investors via a placement of new shares priced at a 2% premium, paired with fixed-strike warrants at a 10% premium that monetize our equity volatility for up to ~$276m in additional capital upon exercise. Up to ~$531m in additional firepower on our march towards 210,000 BTC. $MPJPY

Today our Board approved the establishment of two new wholly owned subsidiaries, Metaplanet Ventures and Metaplanet Asset Management.
Metaplanet Ventures is our commitment to Japan's Bitcoin ecosystem. We'll be investing ¥4 billion over the next few years into companies building Bitcoin financial infrastructure in Japan. Lending, payments, custody, stablecoins, derivatives, compliance. We're also launching an incubator for early stage Japanese founders and a grants program for open source Bitcoin developers, educators, and researchers. Japan has built the best regulatory framework in the world for digital assets. Now it needs the companies, the builders, and the infrastructure to match. We want to help make that happen.
Metaplanet Asset Management, based in Miami, will be our digital credit and Bitcoin capital markets platform, bridging Asian and Western capital markets across yield, equity, credit, and volatility strategies. More to come as we launch specific products.
Our first investment through Metaplanet Ventures: up to ¥400 million into JPYC, Japan's first licensed yen stablecoin. Every Bitcoin transaction has two sides. Bitcoin and a currency. As this market goes institutional, that currency side goes digital. JPYC is building that rail in Japan and we want to be part of it.
