In a recent notice, Metaplanet announced that it has determined the issue price for its new shares sale via overseas offerings. The firm plans to issue up to 385 million shares. The share issue price was determined to be 553 yen, a nearly 10% decrease from its previous closing price.
The company hopes to raise as much as $1.4 billion from its overseas share sale. The majority of the funds, around $1.2 billion, from the overseas share sale will be used to buy more Bitcoin (BTC). Meanwhile, $200 million from the funds will be used to power BTC options business to generate more income.
According to data from Bloomberg, the stock price for Metaplanet, with the ticker MTPLF, fell by 30% after the firm first disclosed plans about an overseas shares sale around late August. Although the share did gain a substantial boost from the recent announcement, climbing up by 16.3%, it is still on the decline compared to its earlier peak just a month prior when it reached 993 yen per share.
At press time, Metaplanet’s stock is trading hands at 714 yen. It has fallen more than 200 yen from its previous peak in mid-August.
This continued decline reflects the market’s tendency to place less value into the company’s equity beyond its Bitcoin holdings, raising concerns about dilution and sustainability. It also reflects a wider trend among other BTC treasury companies which have seen pull-back from its June highs.
For instance, the UK-listed Bitcoin-treasury firm Smarter Web Company saw its share price plunge by nearly 30% from mid-June highs, marking one of the largest corrections in the sector. Meanwhile, Strategy has seen its stock fall by 17.9% in the past month.
