Metaplanet Bitcoin Strategy showcases aggressive accumulation as the firm surpasses the halfway mark in its mission to hold 10,000 BTC
The Metaplanet Bitcoin Strategy has taken another bold leap forward, with the Japanese investment firm announcing the acquisition of an additional 555 BTC—pushing its total holdings to 5,555 BTC valued at approximately $481.5 million.
At an average price of $96,134 per BTC, this most recent acquisition set Metaplanet back $53.4 million, so underlining the company’s relentless will to aggressively grow a Bitcoin treasury. Metaplanet, which started its Bitcoin-centric financial strategy in April 2024, claims to be Asia’s largest public corporate Bitcoin holder and now ranks 11th worldwide based on Bitcointreasuries.net.

To mark the event, CEO Simon Gerovich went to X (previously Twitter) and used the Japanese pronunciation of the number 5—”Go” — to send the happy note: “Go go go go — to the moon and beyond!” Aiming for 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, his optimism is based on the company’s lofty aim, which suddenly seems more reachable.
Metaplanet also revealed a new $25 million bond issue to help it accumulate, so completing its 13th such fundraising campaign. This emphasises the company’s commitment to create a BTC-dominant treasury by means of calculated capital structure following a comparable bond issuance from only a week ago.
Apart from stacking Bitcoin, the Metaplanet Bitcoin Strategy now comprises worldwide growth. The company last week announced intentions to establish Metaplanet Treasury Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary in Miami, Florida—a fast-emerging centre for Bitcoin companies and financial innovation. The U.S. arm will serve as a foundation for Metaplanet’s operational presence in North America.
Interest in Bitcoin by institutions is still rising. To increase its BTC reserves, Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy—the largest publicly owned Bitcoin-holding firm in the world—just increased its capital raising target to $84 billion. The business also raised its debt issuance goal from $21 billion to $42 billion, indicating ongoing corporate treasury desire for Bitcoin.
Industry statistics show publicly traded firms increased their Bitcoin holdings by 16.1% in Q1 2025 alone, so demonstrating that even with market volatility and regulatory obstacles, institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term worth still high.
While private companies like Metaplanet and MicroStrategy spearhead the charge, the U.S. government stays a passive holder of BTC. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has lately voiced scepticism regarding any government-led Bitcoin accumulation strategy. He claims that the growing national debt and popular doubt about crypto culture will probably hinder the establishment of a U.S.-based “strategic Bitcoin reserve.”
Nevertheless, businesses like Metaplanet are quickly closing that gap. Their planned risk-taking, based on structured bond financing and strategic worldwide placement, shows a contemporary template for corporate Bitcoin accumulation. The Metaplanet Bitcoin Strategy might actually be a blueprint for future companies wishing to move towards a Bitcoin-first treasury policy.
The success of Metaplanet’s strategy can motivate other Asian corporations to investigate comparable digital asset methods as it approaches its 10,000 BTC target, so changing the corporate investment scene in the area.
Metaplanet’s narrative is more than a milestone; it’s a signal as Bitcoin’s influence in corporate finance gets ever increasing. One that claims the future financial frontier is currently in progress, scarce, and decentralised.
