Stocks will also be distributed to few foreign investors. Executives claimed the structure curbs stock dilution and safeguards existing common shareholders.

The ClassB Preferred Shares have the attraction of paying quarterly dividends, pegged to Japan’s reference rate of interest (JPY TONA). Also, there is a fixed margin on the rate so that the investors would have a predictable yield.

Dividends shall be distributed in March, June, September and December. According to Metaplanet, this structure provides the institutional investors with a common entity and accommodates its Bitcoin-oriented strategy.

CEO Simon Gerovich recently explained that Metaplanet is not a competitor with Bitcoin ETFs. According to him, each have a different approach to their BTC strategies.

The majority of the money will be used to continue purchasing Bitcoin. According to the company, consistent Bitcoin purchase is a fundamental part of its treasury model especially during declining markets.

According to the company, Bitcoin will is a long-term insurance against inflation and currency depreciation than assets. The management feels that it needs to continue purchasing at any point in the market cycle to ensure that it preserves a reserve strategy.

Its approach is similar to that of Strategy led by Michael Saylor that keeps adding to its Bitcoin Treasury. The fundraising comes in the wake of a significant drop in BTC price and a negative market mood.

The management states that periods of downturns offer strategic buying opportunities for the growth of its treasury over the long-term. Still, some analysts expect more price drops ahead. Veteran trader Peter Brandt recently warned that Bitcoin could even drop toward $58,000 if sell-offs intensify.

Metaplanet will also use the proceeds to nullify some of the stock acquisition rights from previous rounds. The board has approved the right of retiring the 28th series, 29th series, and the 32nd series.

The company claims that the action makes its capital structure stable and more aligned to shareholders in the long term. The filing also indicates that Metaplanet will consider listing its Class B Preferred Shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

However, the company noted that an approval is not guaranteed. The company believes listing the preferred class could attract larger institutional investors interested in Bitcoin-linked yield products.
