Japanese investment adviser Metaplanet has revealed a major financial move to strengthen its cryptocurrency strategy, a $67.5 million stock rights offering designed to finance Bitcoin acquisitions. According to the announcement, the company’s board of directors authorized the free allotment following a meeting.
Existing shareholders will receive one stock acquisition right for each share they own through this offering. Meanwhile, the objective is to enable shareholders to retain their ownership stake while offering a clear and beneficial opportunity for those looking to participate in the company’s foray into cryptocurrency.
Notably, the exercise price for these stock acquisition rights is $3.70 per share. This pricing is intended to entice investors by presenting a transparent and uncomplicated chance to engage in Metaplanet’s strategic shift towards Bitcoin investment.
Additionally, shareholders are given a specific timeframe to utilize their rights, commencing from the notification receipt and concluding on October 15, 2024. This duration allows shareholders sufficient time to evaluate their choices and make well-informed decisions regarding their involvement in the offering. However, shareholders who wish to participate must also complete and submit their exercise request form and transfer the corresponding funds to the company.
This stock rights offering is a strategic decision by Metaplanet to improve its financial flexibility and take advantage of the increasing enthusiasm for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
A few weeks ago, the Tokyo-based investment firm hit its target of accumulating ¥1 billion worth of Bitcoin. The company said it was able to meet its investment target following a purchase of an additional 20.381 BTC.
It is worth emphasizing that Metaplanet’s recent success is the product of hard work and purposeful effort. Before this, the Japanese firm increased its Bitcoin exposure with notable purchases. Recall that the firm acquired 23.35 BTC to its Bitcoin holdings in June. Shortly after, Metaplanet bought an additional 42.47 BTC at an average price of ¥9,419,300 per coin.
With its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, Metaplanet aims to participate in the ongoing digital transformation in the financial market. Also, the firm is following the footsteps of the business investment firm MicroStrategy in its bold Bitcoin accumulation moves.
In June, Metaplanet established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), a strategic move, designed to enhance its BTC management and capabilities. As reported by TheCoinRise, this new subsidiary will improve Metaplanet’s ability to manage and strategize its Bitcoin holdings.
Meanwhile, Metaplanet’s board approved a substantial Bitcoin purchase of 1 billion yen. This decision underscores the company’s commitment to bolstering its long-term holdings and capitalizing on the potential growth of Bitcoin. Furthermore, the acquisition aligns with Metaplanet’s strategic objectives to diversify its asset base and enhance its financial stability through significant investments in digital currencies.
