Metaplanet Hits 25,500 BTC, Eyes 210,000 BTC Target by 2027
Metaplanet has taken another bold step in its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, purchasing an additional 5,419 BTC and lifting its total reserves to 25,555 Bitcoin. The move secures its position as Asia’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, surpassing even major global players like Coinbase and Tesla in terms of reserves.
Massive Purchase Worth $627 Million
According to a September 22 disclosure, the Tokyo-listed firm acquired the coins at an average price of 17.28 million yen (about $115,900) per BTC, spending a total of 93.65 billion yen (around $627 million). This purchase has boosted Metaplanet’s cumulative Bitcoin holdings to 398.21 billion yen ($2.67 billion), with an average purchase price of 15.58 million yen ($104,400) per coin.
Rapid Growth Through Strategic Accumulation
Since launching its Bitcoin treasury program, Metaplanet has expanded at a remarkable pace. Its reserves climbed from 13,350 BTC in June to more than 25,500 BTC by late September, showcasing a rapid acquisition strategy fueled by equity offerings and bond redemptions.
The company has also introduced a performance metric called “BTC Yield”, which measures Bitcoin growth per fully diluted share. From July 1 to September 22, Metaplanet achieved a 10.3% BTC Yield, underscoring steady growth despite share dilution.
Ambitious Targets Ahead
Metaplanet’s ambitions don’t stop here. The firm is targeting 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and an impressive 210,000 BTC—roughly 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply—by 2027.
This aggressive strategy has been supported by capital markets, with the company recently completing an international share offering that raised over $1 billion, most of which has been earmarked for Bitcoin purchases.
Solidifying Its Market Position
Despite volatility in its stock price, Metaplanet received a boost in September when FTSE Russell upgraded it to mid-cap status. Its inclusion in the All-World and FTSE Japan indexes has attracted passive inflows from foreign funds, strengthening its position as a Bitcoin proxy stock.
With its latest acquisition, Metaplanet continues to position itself as a long-term Bitcoin accumulator at the center of Asia’s digital asset markets, following in the footsteps of leading U.S. strategy firms.
