Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovic said the funding strengthens the firm’s ability to expand its Bitcoin reserves.

“Metaplanet has raised roughly $255 million 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 $276 million in additional capital upon exercise. This provides up to $531 million in additional firepower on our march toward 210,000 BTC,” Gerovic stated.

The company currently holds 35,102 BTC, valued at approximately $2.6 billion, placing it among the largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally.
