A Japanese firm, already holding nearly 19,000 Bitcoins, wants approval to raise $881 million. Most of the company's fundraising money will go into a massive Metaplanet Bitcoin Purchase, making headlines in today’s BTC news.
The twist is: On September 1, 2025, one shareholder vote in Tokyo could decide the future of Japan’s boldest crypto plan.

If the plan passes, it may start a new wave of corporate buying. But if shareholders reject it, the project may stall. Many are asking the same question: What effect will it have? Will Bitcoin crash or rise again after this announcement?S
In the latest Metaplanet btc news today, the publicly listed Japanese firm, has shocked markets by announcing plans to raise ¥130.334 billion ($881 million) through an international share offering.
The majority of this war chest—¥123.818 billion ($837 million)—is set aside for buying coins between September and October 2025. Another ¥6.516 billion ($44 million) will support Bitcoin-related financial operations.
The company already owns 18,991 BTC, valued at ¥314.6 billion as of August 25, 2025.
Key Details of the Share Issuance:
Plans to issue 555 million new shares to fund its strategy.
Pricing Window: September 9–11
Payment Dates: September 16–18
Total Shares: Expanding from 722M to 1.27B
Shareholder Vote: September 1 EGM to allow more issuance
Lock-Up Rule: CEO Simon Gerovich and MMXX Ventures cannot sell shares for 60 days
Risk Factor: No stabilization, so volatility in Metaplanet stock dilution is possible
As per my analysis, who has been writing for this industry for a long time now; this step is designed to attract global investors and strengthen trust in the company’s international standing.
The company says the global financial system is shifting:
Government bonds – Higher yields but weaker long-term trust
Gold – Still important, but losing its shine
BTC – Scarce, borderless, and decentralized
For Japan, the case is stronger:
High national debt levels
Japan inflation pressures
Weak yen cutting into savings

So, it is simple: $BTC = hedge against yen decline + inflation.
That’s why the Japan firm Metaplanet Bitcoin purchase is being described as a hedge against both inflation and currency decline.
At the time of writing, the token trades at $111,041, up 0.64% in 24 hours. According to the Tradingview data:
RSI: 41 (showing weakness)
MACD: bearish trend
Support: $110K–$108K
Resistance: $115K–$118K
If the shareholders vote align and purchase of $881M goes ahead:
It could stabilize the token near $110K
A rebound to $115K–$118K looks possible
If the plan fails, analysts warn the Bitcoin crash might slide closer to $108K. That’s why the Metaplanet shareholder vote September 1 is so important—it will decide if this plan moves forward.
Metaplanet bitcoin purchase clearly states that the institutions are now betting big on digital assets rather than gold or bonds for future corporate savings.
If the vote passes, this bold move could both support short-term price rally and mark a turning point for Japanese companies. If not, it may go down as a missed opportunity.
Investors, all eyes are on September 1, 2025. On that day, the firm's big shareholder meeting will decide if Japan is really going all-in on Bitcoin—or if the plan will be stopped before it even begins.
