Metaplanet

The publicly listed investment company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange – Metaplanet Inc. – has just surpassed the milestone of holding 5,000 BTC, officially reaching halfway in its strategy to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. But their ambitions do not stop there: the ultimate goal is 21,000 BTC by 2026, making the company one of the largest Bitcoin holders in the world.

📈 Buying in bulk, strong value increase

As global markets stabilize with easing tariff tensions, Bitcoin (BTC) is back in focus, buoyed by institutional appetite and tightening exchange supply. From Japan’s Metaplanet expanding its BTC treasury to U.S.-based 21 Capital deploying a unique Bitcoin investment strategy, the crypto market is experiencing a new wave of institutional fervor.
Metaplanet Inches Closer to 10K BTC Goal with Latest Acquisition
Tokyo-based Metaplanet has made headlines by purchasing an additional 145 BTC, pushing its total holdings to 5,000 BTC. This marks a significant milestone in the company's ambitious roadmap to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
This strategic accumulation follows in the footsteps of firms like MicroStrategy, whose chairman, Michael Saylor, remains one of Bitcoin’s most vocal advocates. The move strengthens Japan’s growing presence in the institutional Bitcoin space and signals confidence in BTC as a long-term treasury asset.
21 Capital Pushes Institutional Innovation in Bitcoin Investment
Meanwhile, in the U.S., 21 Capital has emerged as a rising institutional player with an unconventional approach. Rather than offering Bitcoin ETFs, CEO Jack Mallers explained that the firm is crafting a business model where investors buy shares that are backed by real BTC purchases.
Mallers emphasized the contrast between his company’s product-focused strategy and traditional ETF offerings. By doing so, 21 Capital aims to attract both institutional and retail investors looking for deeper Bitcoin exposure beyond ETFs.
If successful, 21 Capital could position itself alongside major players like BlackRock and MicroStrategy, potentially reshaping how Bitcoin-focused investment vehicles are structured and consumed.
Bitcoin Exchange Reserves Drop to Lowest Since 2018
Perhaps the clearest indicator of rising confidence in Bitcoin is the decline in exchange reserves, which have now fallen to just 2.53 million BTC, a level not seen since November 2018.
This drop signals a significant surge in long-term holding behavior and decreased sell-side pressure, likely fueled by institutional accumulation and market optimism following geopolitical easing between the U.S. and China.
In tandem, Bitcoin open interest in derivatives markets spiked to historic highs earlier this week, before a slight pullback due to short-term profit-taking. However, the broader picture shows that traders are still betting big on BTC’s future.
Macroeconomic Outlook Still Holds Weight
Despite the strong technical and institutional support, macroeconomic uncertainties linger. The global economy is still navigating the aftershocks of trade tensions and faces potential deflationary risks.
Investor behavior in the coming weeks will likely hinge on outcomes from China-U.S. negotiations and global liquidity conditions. These variables could be critical in determining Bitcoin’s next big move.
