Metaplanet Aims to Acquire 10,000 BTC by End of 2025
Metaplanet has set a goal to expand its Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. The Japan-based firm currently holds 1,762 BTC valued at over $172 million and plans to utilize capital market tools such as share offerings and loans to achieve this target.
CEO Simon Gerovich announced the strategy on January 5, highlighting the company's record growth in 2024 and strengthened Bitcoin reserves. He stated that Metaplanet will leverage effective financial tools for optimized Bitcoin purchases.
Metaplanet's approach is similar to that of MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, which uses debt and bond issuance for acquisitions. MicroStrategy holds approximately 446,400 BTC valued at $44 billion. Although Metaplanet's figures are smaller, its plan to acquire over 8,000 BTC this year could position it among the top corporate Bitcoin holders globally.
Ranked as the 15th largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Metaplanet has already achieved nearly 30% profit on its current reserves. Achieving the 10,000 BTC goal will require significant financial maneuvering and strategic execution.
In addition to increasing its reserves, Metaplanet aims to promote Bitcoin adoption in Japan and worldwide. The company intends to enhance shareholder engagement, improve transparency, and foster partnerships for broader Bitcoin integration into financial systems.
Gerovich emphasized that Metaplanet's objectives go beyond corporate growth, representing a commitment to advancing Bitcoin’s role in the global economy. He expressed gratitude to stakeholders for their contributions to the company’s vision.
Metaplanet’s strategic plan positions it as a significant player in the Bitcoin ecosystem while underscoring its mission to drive innovation and adoption globally. As the company progresses towards its ambitious goal, its developments will be closely monitored over the coming year.
