Japanese firm Metaplanet, often called Japan’s MicroStrategy, is ramping up its Bitcoin strategy. The company has announced a $745 million fundraising initiative, aiming to boost its Bitcoin holdings to 21,000 by the end of 2026.

$745 Million Fundraise for Bitcoin Purchases
Metaplanet recently revealed plans to raise ¥116 billion (approximately $745 million) by issuing 21 million 0% discount moving strike warrants. The funds will be used to purchase more Bitcoin, aligning with the company’s aggressive cryptocurrency strategy.

In the past eight months, Metaplanet has added 1,762 Bitcoin to its treasury, mirroring the approach of MicroStrategy. The announcement came shortly after Bitcoin surged 3.5% to cross the $102,000 mark.
2025-2026 Bitcoin Acquisition Plan
Looking ahead, Metaplanet plans to significantly increase its Bitcoin holdings. By the end of 2025, it aims to own 10,000 BTC—five times its current holdings. By the close of 2026, the company expects to double this to 21,000 BTC.

Metaplanet’s Representative Director, Simon Gerovich, stated:
“Since adopting the Bitcoin Standard in April 2024, Metaplanet has seen exponential growth. Our vision is to lead the Bitcoin renaissance in Japan and become one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally.”
Record-Breaking Growth and Key Milestones
Metaplanet’s adoption of the Bitcoin Standard in 2024 has driven remarkable growth. The company achieved a 309.82% Bitcoin yield in Q4 2024, up from 41.7% in Q3. Its Bitcoin holdings, purchased at an average price of ¥11.85 million per Bitcoin, have doubled in value, currently exceeding ¥27.7 billion.
Additional milestones include:
- A 430x increase in share trading volume (year-over-year).
- A 7,000% surge in market capitalization since April 2024.
- Entry into the top 15 publicly listed Bitcoin-holding companies globally.
Metaplanet shareholders now exceed 50,000, with the company cementing its position as a leader in Bitcoin adoption.
