LeClair joined Metaplanet last year to help implement its bitcoin treasury strategy.<\/p>\n<p>According to company statements, the expansion will enhance Metaplanet&#8217;s around-the-clock operational capabilities across time zones. It will also strengthen the company&#8217;s strategic position in the US market.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet appears to be following a similar path to MicroStrategy, another company known for its bitcoin treasury strategy. Recently, Metaplanet appointed David Bailey to its Strategic Board of Advisors, joining Eric Trump in an advisory capacity.<\/p>\n<h2>Funding the Bitcoin Buying Spree<\/h2>\n<p>The company is not slowing down its bitcoin accumulation efforts. Just days after announcing its US subsidiary, Metaplanet disclosed it had issued 3.6 billion JPY (approximately $23 million) in ordinary bonds.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the company&#8217;s 12th issuance of ordinary bonds. The funds raised will be used to purchase more bitcoin, in line with the company&#8217;s stated strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The bonds will not bear interest and will be redeemable at face value at the end of October 2025. At current prices, the $23 million raised could purchase around 250 bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet recently reached the milestone of holding 5,000 bitcoin after buying 145 BTC in late April. The company has set an ambitious target of accumulating 10,000 bitcoin before the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy appears to be paying off. Metaplanet has reportedly gained $200 million in paper profits from its bitcoin purchases in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>These gains come as bitcoin&#8217;s price approaches the $100,000 mark. The cryptocurrency has risen to $97,000, climbing more than 4% in the past seven days. Bitcoin futures open interest has also increased by over 8% to $67.70 billion during this period.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34904\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34904\" style=\"width: 1031px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34904 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/btc-1.png\" alt=\"btc price\" width=\"1031\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/btc-1.png 1031w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/btc-1-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/btc-1-120x84.png 120w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/btc-1-768x538.png 768w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/btc-1-50x35.png 50w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/btc-1-150x105.png 150w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/btc-1-450x315.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1031px) 100vw, 1031px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34904\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin (BTC) Price<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Metaplanet&#8217;s expansion and investment strategy highlight the growing trend of companies using bitcoin as a treasury asset.
