Metaplanet Plans 470% Increase in Bitcoin Holdings, Targeting 10,000 BTC by 2025

Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-based investment firm, is planning to expand its Bitcoin reserves by a remarkable 470% in 2025, aiming for a total of 10,000 BTC.

This bold move is part of the company’s broader strategy, which began in April 2024, to strengthen its position in the digital asset market.

CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized the firm’s commitment to utilizing the most effective capital market strategies to drive this expansion. In a tweet on January 5, he reflected on the firm’s achievements, stating, “Last year was transformational as we set records, grew our Bitcoin holdings, and solidified our standing as Asia’s top Bitcoin Treasury Company. This year, we are focused on executing and creating even more value for our investors.”

Metaplanet’s strategy aligns with predictions that government adoption of Bitcoin may spark wider institutional interest in the coming years. In 2024, the firm made significant strides by acquiring roughly 1,762 Bitcoin, valued at around $174.5 million. December 2024 marked a milestone when Metaplanet completed its largest purchase yet, acquiring 619.7 Bitcoin for about $60 million.

Metaplanet’s approach to increasing its Bitcoin holdings through advanced financial strategies mirrors global trends, while also highlighting Bitcoin’s growing importance as a treasury asset in Japan. This could set a precedent for other companies in the region to follow suit.
