Wall Street is doubling down on corporate Bitcoin adoption. Fidelity’s custody arm, National Financial Services, just acquired an $820 million stake in Metaplanet—the Japanese firm racing to amass 30,000 BTC by 2025.

The Deal Breakdown

✅ Stake acquired: 12.9% (84.4M shares)
✅ Metaplanet’s BTC holdings: 16,353 BTC ($1.9B value)
✅ 2025 target: 30,000 BTC (currently 54.5% there)

Why This Matters

🔹 Institutional validation: Fidelity doesn’t back risky bets
🔹 Bitcoin treasury trend: Companies treating BTC as reserve assets
🔹 Metaplanet’s momentum: Added 797 BTC this week alone

The Bigger Picture: Corporate Bitcoin Race

While Metaplanet chases 30K BTC, Strategy leads with:

• 597,325 BTC ($42.4B total spend)
• New $531M purchase in late June
• Preferred stock sales to fund more buys

Even GameStop and Rumble are joining the corporate BTC movement.

What’s Next?

With Fidelity onboard, expect:
1️⃣ More institutional copycats
2️⃣ Faster progress toward Metaplanet’s 30K BTC goal
3️⃣ Debate over BTC vs. traditional reserves

As Strategy’s Michael Saylor often says:

“Bitcoin is the exit strategy.”
