Nakamoto Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of KindlyMD, has announced a $30 million investment in Metaplanet Inc., Japan’s first dedicated Bitcoin treasury company. The move marks Nakamoto’s largest single investment to date and its first entry into the Asian public market, signaling a growing wave of institutional Bitcoin adoption across the region.
The investment forms part of Metaplanet’s international equity financing, designed to accelerate Bitcoin accumulation and expand the company’s BTC net asset value. Funding is expected to close on September 16, 2025, with the issuance and delivery of common stock scheduled for the following day. Proceeds from the offering will be directed primarily toward purchasing Bitcoin.
David Bailey, Chairman and CEO of KindlyMD, emphasized Metaplanet’s role in shaping Bitcoin’s future in Japan.
“Metaplanet has established itself as a leader in Japan’s Bitcoin landscape by positioning Bitcoin as the cornerstone of its financial approach. We are proud to support their mission and believe this investment strengthens the global network of companies placing Bitcoin at the center of institutional finance.”
Bitcoin at the Core of Corporate Finance
Metaplanet shareholders recently approved the creation of two classes of perpetual preferred shares, laying the groundwork for a Bitcoin-backed fixed income market in Japan. Together with the common equity issuance, these tools are designed to optimize long-term Bitcoin yield while maintaining a sustainable capital structure.
The latest financing highlights how Metaplanet is doubling down on its strategy: using traditional capital market instruments to maximize Bitcoin accumulation. Market watchers view the company as a bellwether for corporate Bitcoin strategies in Asia, where institutional players are beginning to mirror the treasury-first approach pioneered by firms in the U.S.
Nakamoto’s Global Expansion Strategy
For Nakamoto Holdings, this deal represents more than just a financial bet—it’s a foothold in Asia’s emerging Bitcoin treasury ecosystem. The company, which merged with KindlyMD earlier this year, blends healthcare innovation with a Bitcoin-native holding strategy, creating a diversified corporate model.
By entering Japan’s public market through Metaplanet, Nakamoto positions itself at the forefront of Bitcoin-driven corporate finance. Analysts suggest this investment could set a precedent for further U.S.–Asia collaborations in the digital asset space, potentially reshaping how corporations manage treasury reserves in a Bitcoin standard world.
With the transaction set to finalize next week, all eyes are on Metaplanet as it accelerates Bitcoin purchases and strengthens its reputation as Asia’s corporate Bitcoin pioneer.
