Metaplanet to Add $844M in BTC Treasury to Save Itself: Pump for Bitcoin Hyper?

Metaplanet to Add $844M in $BTC Treasury to Save Itself: Pump for Bitcoin Hyper?

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Japanese firm Metaplanet secured shareholder approval to raise approximately $884M through the issuance of up to 550M new shares overseas.

The funds raised are primarily earmarked for expanding Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings, and are spearheaded in large part by Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump, and a Metaplanet advisor.

Even as Metaplanet prepares for another big Bitcoin buy, questions grow about the soundness of the company’s strategy – and of Eric Trump’s involvement.

And in the background, hype grows surrounding the launch of Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – a potentially revolutionary Bitcoin Layer 2.

Bitcoin Hoard Grows Amid Strategic Push

Metaplanet continues its aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin, purchasing an additional 1,009 $BTC (worth about $112M).

This brings its total holdings to approximately 20,000 $BTC, surpassing fellow public holder Riot Platforms, and placing it at number six on the list of top global corporate Bitcoin holders.

metaplanet holdings as shared on X.

But the aggressive strategy is running a bit of a risk. The company’s innovative funding mechanism – a ‘Bitcoin flywheel’ of warrant-driven funding predicated on a rising stock price – is stalling.

With shares down approximately 54% since mid‑June, investor appetite for exercising warrants by its key backer, Evo Fund, has waned, choking liquidity.

In response, Metaplanet advocated a fallback: a shareholder vote to consider issuing up to 555M preferred shares, potentially raising as much as $3.7B. These preferred instruments would offer dividends (up to 6% annually) and act as a buffer against further dilution of common shares.

Eric Trump Joins the Spotlight

The meeting to vote on the preferred shares proposal took on new luster when Eric Trump, appointed as a strategic advisor earlier this year, attended. He participated in a Tokyo event complete with costumes, food trucks, and a K-pop performance.

Despite the media being barred from entry, his presence highlighted the firm’s high-profile crypto positioning.

And with his support, all the major proposals – including the new stock issuance – passed.

With that hurdle apparently cleared, Metaplanet’s long-term roadmap remains bold: it aims to accumulate over 210K $BTC by the end of 2027 – roughly 1% of all Bitcoin ever to exist – by leveraging its holdings to acquire profit-generating businesses.

The strategy mirrors MicroStrategy’s crypto-centric model and underscores the company’s ambition to lead the corporate Bitcoin treasury movement.

Metaplanet shares traded down around 5–6% on the day, indicating that the company’s moves don’t completely sway investors. At the same time, analysts remain bullish on the longer-term upside.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin moves come when some of Bitcoin’s underlying limitations are becoming more obvious. Yes, Bitcoin is one of the best stores of value ever created – but as the crypto and web3 economies expand, Bitcoin risks being left behind.

That’s where Bitcoin Hyper comes in.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – SVM-Power Bitcoin Layer 2 for Lightning-Fast Transactions

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) deploys a hybrid architecture to bring Solana’s lightning-fast transactions and high throughput together with Bitcoin’s reliability and sheer size.

Bitcoin Hyper architecture as illustrated on the presale website.

That’s done via smart contracts on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) – particularly a Bitcoin Canonical Bridge to move Bitcoin from the original layer to wrapped Bitcoin on the Hyper Layer 2. Once the wrapped $BTC is minted, it can be used within complex smart contracts, dApps, and DeFi. Moving it back simply reverses the process.

However, the final transaction settlement remains on Bitcoin’s Layer 1, preserving the stability and security that Bitcoin is known for.

What is Bitcoin Hyper? It’s the rapid-response option for Bitcoin’s next stage of evolution. The Layer 2 is powered by the $HYPER token; currently available in the presale for $0.012845. Our price prediction shows the token price could hit $0.32 by the end of the year, representing a 2,683% increase from its final presale price.

Learn how to buy Bitcoin Hyper, and check out the $HYPER presale page ($13M raised).

Will Metaplanet – Or Bitcoin Hyper – Save Bitcoin?

Metaplanet is doubling down on its Bitcoin treasury strategy, advancing bold capital raises even as its share price retreats. The outcome hinges on whether its preferred share issuance can revitalize its funding flywheel.

It may also come down to how Bitcoin performs; could Bitcoin Hyper supercharge the whole ecosystem and save Metaplanet?

As always, do your own research. This isn’t financial advice.
