Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made waves in the crypto space with its ambitious plan to acquire 210,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2027. This target, if achieved, would represent 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply cap and solidify Metaplanet’s position as Asia’s largest corporate holder of BTC.

A Massive Bet on Bitcoin
Announced on June 6, the Accelerated 2025–2027 Bitcoin Plan marks a dramatic expansion of Metaplanet’s previous goal of holding 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. The company currently holds 8,888 BTC—already 88.8% of its near-term goal—placing it among the top 10 Bitcoin holders globally.
To fund the new acquisition target, Metaplanet will issue up to 555 million new shares through stock acquisition rights, in addition to the 210 million shares already issued under its earlier 21 Million Plan. CEO Simon Gerovich described the move as Asia’s largest-ever equity raise dedicated entirely to Bitcoin investment, aiming to generate 770.9 billion yen (approximately $5.4 billion).

Despite a slight dip of 1.61% in its stock price to 1,341 yen on Friday, Metaplanet’s performance over the past month remains striking. According to Yahoo Finance, the stock has soared over 213% in just one month and nearly 285% year-to-date. Meanwhile, the company boasts a Bitcoin yield of 225.4% YTD, further strengthening investor confidence.
Bitcoin itself is recovering from a recent market downturn, currently trading around $103,476, with a 24-hour range between $100,436 and $105,936.
Metaplanet’s bold strategy could signal a new wave of corporate crypto accumulation in Asia and beyond. As the company pushes toward owning a significant slice of Bitcoin’s finite supply, global investors are watching closely to see whether this aggressive accumulation will inspire similar moves across the financial sector.
