Notably, the firm raised $5.4 billion to fund its Bitcoin purchases, aiming to acquire 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, which would constitute approximately 1% of the total Bitcoin supply .

As of March 2025, Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings have grown to 3,050 BTC, with plans to increase this to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026 .

Financial Performance and Market Impact

The company's aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has positively impacted its stock performance. Since the announcement of its Bitcoin-focused strategy, Metaplanet's stock price has surged over 8,850% in two years, reaching a peak of 6,650 yen .

Future Plans and Global Expansion
