The ‘555 Million Plan’ by Metaplanet
Metaplanet’s current funding round was completed on the first day of the company’s ‘555 Million Plan’ through the issuance of 54 million shares, executed via the activation of its 20th series of stock acquisition rights.
This framework might act as a prototype for other corporations aiming to diversify their treasuries or safeguard against fiat currency depreciation. Could this model gain traction in regions facing economic volatility or negative interest rates?
This single-day capital raise is noted as one of the most significant fundraising tactics by a Japanese company with a focused goal of investing in BTC.
