Metaplanet transformed from a struggling pan-Asian hotel chain into Japan’s most aggressive bitcoin treasury company, becoming the fourth-largest corporate bitcoin holder and the country’s most active equity issuer in 2025. Dylan LeClair and Phil Geiger break down how Metaplanet raised over $1 billion through capital markets to accumulate more than 35,000 bitcoin while growing its shareholder base to over 220,000 Japanese retail investors. Pierre Rochard digs into rights issues, stock acquisition rights, and how Metaplanet is educating Japanese investors on bitcoin while competing with nearly $7 trillion in zero-interest household savings.
