However, the bondholder has the option to request early redemption, either in full or in part, by submitting a written notice to Metaplanet no later than one business day prior to the desired redemption date.Metaplanet plans to use the funds raised from the bond issuance to expand its Bitcoin holdings and work towards its ambitious goal of accumulating 100,000 BTC by the end of the year. Currently, the firm has surpassed the 5,000 BTC milestone.In a notice issued by Metaplanet, the company indicated that the funds for redeeming these bonds are expected to come from the proceeds generated through the exercise of the 15th to 17th series of stock acquisition rights. This provision means that the bond’s redemption will depend on investor demand for Metaplanet’s equity-linked securities. If the proceeds from these rights exceed the specified thresholds, Metaplanet may choose to initiate partial early bond repayments. In the most recent trading session, Metaplanet’s shares closed at 428 yen, reflecting an 8.6% increase.As of the time of reporting, Metaplanet has not disclosed whether the funds raised from the bond issuance have been used to purchase additional Bitcoin units.Metaplanet’s Quest to Change the BTC EcosystemRecently, Metaplanet announced the addition of David Bailey, the CEO of BTC Inc., to its advisory board.
