Bitcoin Buying Spree Backed by Bonds

To fund its frequent purchases, the organisation has taken a unique path, issuing bonds to build its holdings. They made the latest purchase on 30th June adding 1003 currencies at the rate of $107,601 per coin.

The latest round raised JPY 30 billion (around $208 million USD) through its 19th series of ordinary bonds. These bonds, which offer no coupon and are unsecured, were fully subscribed by EVO FUND.

A small portion, JPY 1.75 billion will repay older bonds, but the rest will go toward expanding the Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings.
