Japanese Firm Targets 1% of Bitcoin Supply with Ambitious Acquisition Strategy

Metaplanet Inc. , a Tokyo-listed investment firm, has unveiled an ambitious plan to raise $5.4 billion (770 billion yen) by issuing 555 million shares, with the aim of expanding its bitcoin holdings to 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.

This goal equates to approximately 1% of the total bitcoin supply, marking a significant escalation from the previous goal of 21,000 BTC by 2026.

The capital raising, dubbed the “ 555 Million Plan ,” involves the issuance of variable-weight warrants, an innovative financial instrument in Japan that adjusts the exercise price based on market conditions.

This strategy is designed to optimize capital raising while minimizing shareholder dilution. The funds will be used primarily to purchase additional bitcoin, with some allocated to bond buybacks and income-generating strategies such as selling put options.

CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized the company’s commitment to bitcoin as a core treasury asset, posting on his X account ,

Metaplanet's aggressive bitcoin acquisition strategy reflects a broader trend among corporations to seek to hedge against economic uncertainties and currency devaluation.

The company’s shares have seen substantial growth, up 275% since the start of 2025 and delivering a 1619% return over the past year. With its current holdings of 8,888 BTC, Metaplanet ranks among the largest corporate holders of BTC globally.
