Metaplanet Unveils BTC Focused Capital and Repurchase Strategy
Metaplanet Inc. has introduced a bold new capital allocation and share repurchase strategy. This is aimed at maximizing Bitcoin yield and long-term shareholder value. The Tokyo-based company announced its dual policy on October 28. This marks another major step in its aggressive Bitcoin Treasury expansion.
Strengthening Its Bitcoin Treasury Vision
Since pivoting toward Bitcoin Treasury operations in 2024. Metaplanet has positioned BTC at the heart of its corporate strategy. Through consistent capital raises, it now holds 30,823 BTC worth roughly $3.5 billion. This makes it the fourth-largest publicly listed Bitcoin treasury worldwide and the largest in Asia.
The company’s new Capital Allocation Policy lays out a structured approach to financing, investments and shareholder returns. It’s designed to ensure that every move aligns to enhance Bitcoin yield and long-term corporate value. Amid market volatility, Metaplanet believes flexibility in capital deployment will be key to maintaining stability and growth.
New Capital Allocation Policy
Under the policy, Metaplanet will follow three guiding principles. First, it plans to use perpetual preferred shares to strengthen capital efficiency and increase BTC yield without refinancing risk. The company has already initiated preliminary discussions with the Tokyo Stock Exchange for potential listing. Though formal approval is pending.
Second, it will apply clear rules for common share issuance. Metaplanet stated it won’t raise capital through common shares. When its market-to-net asset value (mNAV) ratio is below 1.0x. Instead, new issuances will only occur when the valuation exceeds that level and benefits long-term shareholders.
Finally, the company intends to maximize BTC yield through share buybacks. When mNAV drops below 1.0x. They are repurchasing shares becomes a key strategy. The company retains the flexibility to buy back stock even above that threshold. When it believes market prices undervalue its intrinsic worth. Funding for these buybacks could come from cash reserves. It preferred share issuances, credit facilities or income generated from its Bitcoin based business operations.
Launching a Massive Share Repurchase Program
Alongside the new policy, furthermore, Metaplanet unveiled a major share repurchase program. Specifically, the initiative authorizes the buyback of up to 150 million common shares. This represents 13.13% of total outstanding shares, at a maximum value of ¥75 billion (around $500 million). The repurchase period extends from October 29, 2025, to October 28, 2026. Finally, the transactions will take place on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
To enable seamless execution, the company’s board also approved a $500 million credit facility, backed by Bitcoin collateral. This facility will provide liquidity for share buybacks, further BTC acquisitions and other strategic investments. It will also act as bridge financing ahead of the preferred share issuance.
Reinforcing Transparency and Long-Term Value
Metaplanet’s leadership, led by CEO Simon Gerovich , emphasized that these policies are part of a long-term roadmap to strengthen financial discipline. It enhances capital efficiency and builds shareholder trust. Specifically, by tying its corporate structure more closely to Bitcoin’s performance.
Furthermore, the company aims to maintain transparency and ensure that all decisions ultimately enhance BTC yield per share. Consequently, with these measures, Metaplanet continues to cement its reputation as Asia’s leading Bitcoin centric corporation. It balances bold ambition with structured financial discipline in an evolving digital economy.
