๐ Metaplanet: From Hotel to Bitcoin Vault! ๐ช
Have you ever imagined a Japanese hotel becoming one of the largest holders of Bitcoin in the world? This is what happened with Metaplanet, which decided to change its strategy from hotel management to investing in Bitcoin.
๐ Achievement:
On June 16, 2025, Metaplanet announced that it had surpassed the 10,000 Bitcoin mark, thus outperforming Coinbase in institutional reserve size. This was achieved by purchasing 1,112 Bitcoin valued at $117.2 million, bringing the average purchase price to $105,435 per Bitcoin.
๐ก Strategy:
To finance these investments, Metaplanet issued interest-free bonds worth $210 million, reflecting its strong commitment to Bitcoin as a core asset. This move contributed to a 26% increase in the companyโs stock price in a single day.
๐ฏ Future Goal:
Metaplanet aims to own 210,000 Bitcoin by 2027, equivalent to about 1% of the total supply of the currency. To achieve this, it announced plans to raise $5.4 billion through a rights offering.
๐ค Conclusion:
Metaplanet has transformed from just a hotel company into an institutional powerhouse in the world of Bitcoin, raising questions about the future of traditional companies in the wake of the digital revolution. Will we witness more similar transformations in the future?
