Metaplanet 及其成为亚洲最大比特币持有者的追求

Japanese Bitcoin consulting company Metaplanet Inc. is ramping up its efforts to build its Bitcoin portfolio. The publicly traded company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange is now issuing 4.5 billion yen ($30 million) in zero-interest bonds to finance its Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

日本比特币咨询公司 Metaplanet Inc. 正在加紧努力构建其比特币投资组合。这家在东京证券交易所上市的公司目前正在发行 45 亿日元（约合 3000 万美元）的零息债券，为其比特币收购战略提供资金。

The company announced the bond issuance in a disclosure posted on its website dated December 17th. This is the fourth in the series and formally carries the name Metaplanet Inc. 4th Series Ordinary Bonds.

该公司在其网站上发布的日期为 12 月 17 日的披露中宣布了此次债券发行。这是该系列的第四款，正式名称为 Metaplanet Inc. 第四系列普通债券。

The total amount of bonds is 4.5 billion yen, each costing 250 million yen. According to the company disclosure, the bonds are not subject to interest and will mature on June 16th, 2025.

债券总额为45亿日元，每张债券金额为2.5亿日元。据公司披露，该债券不计息，将于2025年6月16日到期。

Metaplanet’s December bond offering is the fourth in the series, aiming to fund its Bitcoin strategy. As a publicly traded company, Metaplanet leverages Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset and seeks to use its excess cash to invest in Bitcoin.

Metaplanet 12 月份的债券发行是该系列债券的第四次发行，旨在为其比特币战略提供资金。作为一家上市公司，Metaplanet 将比特币作为主要储备资产，并寻求利用其多余现金投资比特币。

According to its corporate manifesto, it’s taking the Bitcoin pivot thanks to the asset’s unique qualities, such as scarcity and apolitical monetary policies.

根据其公司宣言，由于该资产的独特品质，例如稀缺性和非政治性的货币政策，该公司正在转向比特币。

The latest bond issuance is part of the firm’s strategic plan to become the region’s largest Bitcoin holder. According to its disclosure, the bonds will be released in tranches, allowing the firm to raise money to purchase Bitcoins.

最新的债券发行是该公司成为该地区最大的比特币持有者战略计划的一部分。据其披露，这些债券将分批发行，以便该公司筹集资金购买比特币。

Metaplanet Inc. started its Bitcoin-buying spree in April 2024. As of this writing, the Japanese firm has already added 1,150 Bitcoins, or $122.67 million, to its holdings. Metaplanet’s investment thesis is similar to that of MicroStrategy’s, led by Michael Saylor.

Metaplanet Inc. 于 2024 年 4 月开始了比特币购买热潮。截至撰写本文时，这家日本公司已增持 1,150 个比特币，即 1.2267 亿美元。 Metaplanet 的投资理念与 Michael Saylor 领导的 MicroStrategy 的投资理念相似。

The issuance of new bonds is expected to fast-track its investment in digital assets. By offering zero-interest bonds, the company can avoid short-term financial issues while using the fresh funds to add more digital assets. It’s also a win-win scenario for investors since these bonds are offered at a discount but are paid in full upon maturity.

新债券的发行预计将加快其对数字资产的投资。通过提供零息债券，该公司可以避免短期财务问题，同时利用新资金增加更多数字资产。这对投资者来说也是一个双赢的局面，因为这些债券以折扣价发行，但在到期时全额支付。

The market responded well to these most recent events; shares of the company surged by 51% during the past five days. The company’s market capitalization is raised to more than $1 billion as its shares hit a high of 4,270 yen. The CEO of Metaplanet Inc., Simon Gerovich, has appreciated the overwhelmingly favorable reaction of the market to the move.

市场对这些最近发生的事件反应良好；该公司股价在过去五天内飙升了 51%。随着股价触及 4,270 日元的高位，该公司的市值升至 10 亿美元以上。 Metaplanet Inc. 的首席执行官 Simon Gerovich 对市场对此举的压倒性积极反应表示赞赏。

Apart from its approach of bond issuing, Metaplanet also revealed its Bitcoin Rewards Program. Recently, the company started a 30 million yen ($199,500) prize pool to honor owners of at least 100 shares as of December 31, 2024.

除了发行债券的方式外，Metaplanet 还透露了其比特币奖励计划。最近，该公司启动了一个 3000 万日元（199,500 美元）的奖金池，以表彰截至 2024 年 12 月 31 日至少拥有 100 股股票的所有者。

Using a lottery system, the company will select 2,350 shareholders who will get varying amounts of Bitcoins.

该公司将使用抽签系统选择 2,350 名股东，他们将获得不同数量的比特币。
