Metaplanet Announces Ambitious Plan to Accumulate $745 Million in Bitcoin

Metaplanet, a Japanese company that has been compared to MicroStrategy for its treasury strategy focused on Bitcoin , recently announced its bold plan to significantly increase its cryptocurrency reserves.

The company, which already has more than a thousand Bitcoins on its balance sheet, revealed its intention to acquire another 20 thousand BTC by the end of 2026. To finance this ambitious goal, Metaplanet will issue 21 million warrant shares, which is expected to raise around $745 million. This is the largest warrant issuance ever by a Japanese Bitcoin-focused company.

Metaplanet, like MicroStrategy, believes that Bitcoin is a long-term asset of value and a hedge against inflation. By concentrating a large portion of its assets in Bitcoin, the company seeks to increase value for its shareholders and position itself as a leader in the cryptocurrency investment space.

With the funds secured from the warrant issuance, Metaplanet will begin acquiring Bitcoin gradually over the next few years. The company also hopes that this strategy will attract more investors who share its vision for the future of Bitcoin.

Metaplanet Plans to Acquire 10.000 BTC in 2025 to Expand Bitcoin Treasury

Metaplanet, already recognized as one of the leading Asian Bitcoin treasury companies, outlined ambitious plans for 2025 after a remarkable year in 2024. Under Gerovich’s leadership, the company has bolstered its Bitcoin arsenal, reaching new heights. At the end of 2024, Metaplanet had 1.762 BTC in its vaults, valued at approximately $172,42 million. The highlight of the year was the acquisition of 620 BTC in December for approximately $60 million, trading at an average price of $96.000 per Bitcoin.

To reach the desired 10.000 BTC milestone, Metaplanet intends to leverage the same capital markets strategies it used in 2024, including issuing convertible bonds, equity, and borrowing. These tools have been essential to expanding the company’s Bitcoin treasury and should prove equally useful in the coming year.

At the time of publication, the price of Bitcoin was quoted at US$102.725, up 1.5% in the last 24 hours.
