Metaplanet will issue 24.53 million new common shares at 499 yen per share, around 5% above the prior close, raising approximately 12.24 billion yen in upfront proceeds.
The company's shares closed at 456 yen, 4% lower on the day, reflecting short-term dilution concerns despite the premium pricing.
The capital raise is structured as a third-party allotment, meaning the securities are placed directly with specific investors rather than being sold to the general public on the open market.
Each new share is accompanied by 0.65 stock acquisition rights, equating to 15.94 million potential shares and 65% warrant coverage. The warrants have a fixed exercise price of 547 yen and a one-year exercise period. If fully exercised, they would generate up to 8.9 billion yen in additional proceeds. These are fixed strike warrants, not moving strike style, limiting variable dilution.
Of the upfront capital, 5.2 billion yen is allocated to partial repayment of existing debt.
Metaplanet has approximately $280 million worth of debt outstanding, according to its dashboard. The remaining proceeds are expected to support further bitcoin accumulation and general corporate purposes.
The company currently holds 35,102 BTC, the fourth largest of any publicly traded company.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture
Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

The Next Bitcoin Story Of 2025
The post The Next Bitcoin Story Of 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 07:39 Bitcoin’s rise from obscure concept to a global asset is the playbook every serious investor pores over, and it still isn’t done writing; Bitcoin now trades above $115,000, a reminder that the life-changing runs begin before most people are even looking. T The question hanging over this cycle is simple: can a new contender compress that arc, faster, cleaner, earlier, while the window is still open for those willing to move first? Coins still on presales are the ones can repeat this story, and among those coins, an Ethereum based meme coin catches most of the attention, as it’s team look determined to make an impact in today’s market, fusing culture with working tools, with a design built to reward early movers rather than late chasers. If you’re hunting the next asymmetric shot, this is where momentum and mechanics meet, which is why many traders quietly tag this exact meme coin as the best crypto to buy now in a crowded market. Before we dive deeper, take a quick rewind through the case study every crypto desk knows by heart: how Bitcoin went from about $0.0025 to above $100,000, and turned a niche experiment into the story that still sets the bar for everything that follows. Bitcoin 2010-2025 Price History Back to first principles: a strange internet money appears in 2010 and then, step by step, rewires the entire market, Bitcoin’s arc from about $0.0025 to above $100,000 is the case study every desk still cites because it proves one coin can move the entire game.
