This feat demonstrates that Metaplanet is dedicated to adding Bitcoin through corporate balance sheets. The company was also in the spotlight on May 13, when it issued $15 million in zero-interest bonds intended for purchasing Bitcoin. Instead of issuing shares or using money, Metaplanet plans to use debt to keep its operations open during growth and manage its digital-asset portfolio.

Metaplanet’s Bond Issuance Fuels Bitcoin Strategy

Using a bond offering to support Metaplanet’s Bitcoin purchase is an exciting new trend in corporate finance. Companies use zero-percent ordinary bonds in environments with low interest rates to seek investments, which MicroStrategy does by investing the funds in Bitcoin. This shows that many companies are now using debt instead of share sales to purchase Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy Set to Announce Fresh Acquisition

MicroStrategy is the biggest company with Bitcoin on its balance sheet and is planning to purchase more. Reports show that MicroStrategy will purchase a large amount of Bitcoin on May 19, in addition to the 13,390 BTC it acquired on May 13.

As a result of that transaction, the company’s Bitcoin yield for the year improved to 15.5%. According to CEO Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy considers Bitcoin as “digital gold,” and the acquisition will add to the firm’s earlier reputation as a Bitcoin leader.

Support for Bitcoin Is Increasing from Corporations

The fact that both Metaplanet and MicroStrategy are taking the same step indicates that publicly held companies are increasingly confident about Bitcoin’s future. Both companies are showing a new strategy by financing their businesses through innovative means and storing millions of dollars of Bitcoin to keep it as a treasury reserve. Since Bitcoin is near $104,000, many businesses are taking advantage of this opportunity to enhance their positions.

As a result, Bitcoin might gain increased interest from other companies, leading them to add it to their assets. Because of how Metaplanet operates and MicroStrategy continues to add Bitcoin, it looks as though companies are moving into a strategy of managing their assets carefully and intentionally.
