Metaplanet company holds 35,102 BTC worth $2.57 billion and the mNAV is at 1.21. The company is still sitting at an unrealized loss of $1.21 billion. The company is yet to announce a Bitcoin purchase this year.

Board Approves New Capital Allocation Policy

Metaplanet’s board of directors today approved a new capital allocation policy to help the company maximize long-term corporate value and optimize long-term value for shareholders.

The strategy aims to boost BTC yield by the effective use of perpetual preferred shares. It proposes to pause in capital raising through common share issuance when mNAV falls below 1 and share buybacks to maximize BTC yield.

Simon Gerovich said the company issued 100 million moving strike warrants with a first-of-its-kind mNAV clause under the new capital strategy. “Exercise is only permitted when the stock trades above 1.01x mNAV, ensuring every share issued increases shareholder value,” he added.

It will enable the company to raise an estimated $234 million in additional capital to buy more BTC. This gets unlocked only when it’s accretive to BTC per share.

Proceeds are earmarked primarily for acquiring more BTC, with the firm eyeing a path toward holding substantial portions of Bitcoin’s total supply in the coming years. Recent reports indicate Metaplanet aims to build one of the largest public corporate Bitcoin treasuries globally.

As CoinGape reported, Metaplanet launched two new subsidiaries, Metaplanet Ventures and Metaplanet Asset Management. The VC arm will invest $25 million (4 billion yen) over the next few years, while the other will operate as a U.S.-based firm focusing on bitcoin investment products.
