🚨 Japanese tech company Metaplanet has taken a bold step in expanding its Bitcoin reserves. The company’s board of directors has approved an additional $5 billion capital allocation to its U.S. subsidiary, aimed at strengthening its so-called "Bitcoin Treasury Department" and achieving its goal of holding 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
Aggressive Expansion Under the '555 Million Plan'
This latest move is part of Metaplanet's broader strategy, first unveiled in early June 2025 and dubbed the "555 Million Plan." The company has made it clear: it aims to become a global leader in corporate Bitcoin treasury management.
Following a recent purchase of 1,111 BTC, this new $5 billion allocation signals that Metaplanet is entering an aggressive growth phase. The capital will be funneled through its U.S.-based entity, listed under the ticker MTPLF, with the ultimate target of accumulating 210,000 BTC by 2027—about 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Global Vision with a U.S. Focus
Metaplanet emphasized that the United States plays a pivotal role in its strategy. Today’s allocation is part of a broader fundraising campaign to secure $5.4 billion in Bitcoin purchases. In its official statement, the company said:
“While Metaplanet continues to advocate for corporate Bitcoin adoption in Japan, our U.S. expansion highlights our commitment to a globally integrated financial asset management model. We believe this approach will generate long-term value for shareholders and establish leadership in Bitcoin-driven capital market innovation.”
MTPLF Stock Decline: A Healthy Correction?
After the launch of its U.S. subsidiary in May, MTPLF shares surged to $15. However, this week the stock pulled back, dropping 6% to $11.64. On the Tokyo Stock Exchange, shares fell 5.38%, closing at 1,547 yen.
Despite the dip, analysts suggest this may be a healthy correction after a strong run. Institutional interest remains robust—giants like Citigroup and Capital Group recently acquired 3 million MTPLF shares combined.
Bottom Line: Metaplanet Aims for the Bitcoin Summit
With eyes set on 210,000 BTC in holdings and billions in new capital, Metaplanet is emerging as the Asian counterpart to MicroStrategy. The coming months will show whether the market rewards its bold treasury strategy—or if short-term volatility overshadows the long-term vision.
