Metaplanet began the year with slightly more than 1,000 BTC. It has since crossed 10,000 BTC, reaching its new milestone this week. The firm previously aimed to hold 21,000 BTC by next year under its “21 Million Plan.” However, the target has now been replaced with the more ambitious “555 Million Plan.”
The company now plans to hold 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025. It further aims for 100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. This would give Metaplanet control of 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Stock Faces Pressure Amid Global Tensions
As geopolitical tensions escalated over the weekend, financial markets responded with volatility. The United States launched strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran. This triggered a drop in Bitcoin prices, pushing it below $100,000 on Sunday. However, Bitcoin has since recovered and is now trading above $101,000. Despite the rebound, Metaplanet's stock fell 8% to 1,712 JPY during Monday's Asian session.
Rising Demand Drives Strategy Shift
With no spot Bitcoin ETFs available in Japan, Metaplanet’s stock has become a proxy for Bitcoin exposure. This shift has drawn increased investor interest. Capital Group and Citigroup reportedly bought Metaplanet shares last week. The company’s aggressive accumulation strategy has attracted wide attention across the market.
Institutional Interest in Bitcoin Grows
Metaplanet’s expansion comes amid a broader trend of Bitcoin accumulation by public firms. Companies such as GameStop and Semler Scientific have also added Bitcoin to their treasuries. MicroStrategy remains the largest corporate holder with 592,100 BTC, valued at $59.7 billion. The firm plans to continue expanding its holdings.
Over 220 public companies have adopted similar strategies, often referred to as “Saylor copycats.” Analysts warn this rapid shift could strain markets. Coinbase noted in a recent report that aggressive fundraising to buy Bitcoin might lead to instability. The report raised concerns about investor confidence and market health.
Despite market volatility, Metaplanet has gained nearly 357% since the start of 2025. Its ongoing Bitcoin strategy, supported by domestic demand, continues to draw investor attention.
