The time period coincides with a time when cryptocurrencies are receiving an unprecedented level of attention around the world.

Earlier this year, Metaplanet discussed plans to expand its operations further by securing funds through zero-interest bonds. In its growth journey, the company is engaging in diverse avenues to optimize its financial standing.

Last week, Metaplanet issued bonds to the tune of $24.8 million. These bonds will mature in October 2025. However, the company will not be making any interest payments until the bonds mature in 2025.

The company is focusing on acquiring more Bitcoin without placing any financial strain on its balance sheet.

Apart from Metaplanet, several other notable companies are actively increasing their Bitcoin investments.

The statement covers the period from April 28 through May 4.
