Metaplanet launches BitBonds fixed-rate debt program to fund Bitcoin purchases
Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet launched a fixed-rate bond program on Aug. 20, 2026, beginning with four privately placed series totaling about 200 million yen, or roughly $1.3 million. The bonds have maturities of about three years, with annual interest rates ranging from 4% to 4.3%. The company also said a transfer of 5,014 Bitcoin between custody addresses was not a sale and that it still holds 43,000 BTC. The move opens another debt-based route to finance future Bitcoin buying.
