Metaplanet issues ¥8 billion in zero-coupon bonds to prepare to buy Bitcoin—who exactly is EVO, the legendary figure behind it?
Metaplanet announced that it will finance the EVO fund with 8 billion yen in interest-free bonds. All of the funds will be used to purchase Bitcoin, and about 1.2 billion yen of idle funds will be reallocated to increase holdings. The company currently holds 40,177 bitcoins, making it the third-largest reserve, but mNAV has fallen to 0.87, making it harder to buy more Bitcoin by issuing additional shares. EVO is a fund controlled by Michael Allerichi, a U.S. investor, and it is skilled at profiting through arbitrage-style trading of share warrants.
