#MetaplanetBTCPurchase Metaplanet Inc., a Japanese company that transformed from a budget hotel operator into a "Bitcoin treasury company," has been aggressively acquiring Bitcoin, mirroring the strategy of MicroStrategy.

Metaplanet's Bitcoin purchase strategy:

* Significant Holdings: Metaplanet currently holds 10,000 BTC as of June 15, 2025, following a recent acquisition of 1,112 BTC.

* Ambitious Targets: The company aims to hold 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and a massive 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. If successful, this would make it the second-largest public company holder of Bitcoin, behind only MicroStrategy (now known as Strategy).

* Funding Strategy: Metaplanet funds its Bitcoin purchases primarily through zero-interest bond issuances and stock acquisition rights, allowing it to raise substantial capital without immediate financing costs, betting on Bitcoin's future appreciation.

* Strategic Pivot: The company, led by CEO Simon Gerovich, made a strategic pivot to Bitcoin in April 2024, seeing it as a hedge against economic uncertainties and a way to diversify assets. This move has led to a significant surge in its stock price.

* "Japan's MicroStrategy": Metaplanet has explicitly adopted a strategy similar to MicroStrategy, aiming to become a leading corporate holder of Bitcoin in Asia and globally. It also offers Bitcoin consulting services to other businesses.
