Metaplanet Hits Milestone in Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy
Metaplanet has recently added 269.43 BTC to its holdings, pushing its total Bitcoin reserves to 2,100 BTC—a significant milestone achieved within a year of initiating its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. With this, the Japanese firm now holds 0.01% of the total Bitcoin supply.
The company has set an ambitious goal to increase its Bitcoin holdings tenfold by the end of 2026, aiming for 21,000 BTC as part of its long-term strategy.
Achieving 10% of the Final Target
Earlier today, Japan’s version of MicroStrategy announced the acquisition of 68.59 BTC for approximately $6.6 million, at an average price of $96,335 per BTC. This purchase capitalized on a Bitcoin price dip before its rebound to $97,000.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin investments have delivered an impressive 18% year-to-date (YTD) return in 2025. As of February 20, 2025, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings stand at 2,100 BTC, acquired at a cumulative cost of $169.9 million, averaging $80,905 per BTC.
Since launching its Bitcoin strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has significantly expanded its reserves, reinforcing its belief that Bitcoin is the world’s only truly scarce asset.
Company CEO Simon Gerovich commented:
“This milestone is just one step in our long-term vision of reaching 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026. Metaplanet remains committed to a Bitcoin-first strategy and maximizing long-term shareholder value.”
Securing $20 Million to Strengthen Bitcoin Strategy
As part of its “21M Plan,” Metaplanet successfully raised $20 million in equity capital within the first two trading days, reinforcing its commitment to expanding its Bitcoin portfolio.
Metaplanet Bitcoin Strategist Dylan LeClair emphasized the company’s dedication to its long-term vision, which includes securing additional Bitcoin holdings.
Additionally, earlier this week, the company announced raising JPY 4 billion through 0% unsecured bonds, with the funds designated for Bitcoin acquisitions in 2026 and 2027. So far, Metaplanet has allocated over $700 million toward its target of accumulating 21,000 BTC by 2026.
Industry leaders, including MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, have recognized the firm’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy, highlighting its potential impact.
Metaplanet Stock Eyes New All-Time High
Metaplanet’s stock has soared 75% in 2025, reaching a record high of 7,000 JPY earlier this month. After a slight correction, the stock is back on an upward trajectory, gaining 2% today to reach 6,260 JPY.
The company also holds a dominant position in the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index (BLOCK Index), where it has a 6.27% weighting, making it the largest component.
CEO Simon Gerovich expressed pride in the achievement, stating:
“We’re honored to stand alongside industry leaders and remain committed to demonstrating what a Bitcoin-first approach can achieve for publicly traded companies.”
