The company stated that proceeds from the preferred equity issuance will support treasury expansion. The structure allows capital inflows while maintaining operational flexibility.

Management framed the strategy as a funding mechanism aligned with its digital asset focus.

Preferred equity provides investors with defined terms and priority over common shares.

This approach enables Metaplanet to access capital markets while directing funds toward Bitcoin. The initiative reflects a continued treasury-centered strategy.

Targeting 100,000 Bitcoin by 2026

Metaplanet confirmed a target of holding 100,000 BTC by 2026. The company has previously increased its Bitcoin reserves through equity financing and bond issuances.

The new structure is intended to support that long-term accumulation goal. Bitcoin remains the primary treasury reserve asset for the firm.

Management has repeatedly stated that Bitcoin forms the core of its balance sheet strategy. The accumulation target extends over a multi-year period.

Market conditions have included periods of price volatility. Despite this, the company has continued adding to its holdings.The preferred equity strategy sustains Bitcoin purchases across different market cycles.
