#鲍威尔发言 #Metaplanet Increases Bitcoin Holdings Metaplanet, as a publicly listed company in Japan, has attracted attention in recent years through its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Its goal is to increase its Bitcoin holdings from the current 1,762 BTC to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, and further reach 21,000 BTC by 2026, to promote Japan's national Bitcoin adoption strategy. To achieve this goal, the company raises funds through diversified financing tools such as issuing zero-coupon bonds, stock purchase rights, and convertible bonds. For example, in February 2025, it increased its holdings by 269.43 BTC through a 4 billion yen bond, bringing its total holdings to over 2,031 BTC. As of April 14, 2025, Metaplanet has accumulated 4,525 BTC, with an average cost of about $85,366 and an annualized return of 108.3%. Its stock price rose multiple times from the beginning of 2025 to April due to the increase in holdings, with an annual increase of over 78%, further boosting market confidence as it was included in the MSCI Japan Index. Metaplanet emulates MicroStrategy's strategy, viewing Bitcoin as a core reserve asset, emphasizing the valuation of the company based on BTC yields rather than traditional fiat currency. This strategy not only reflects institutional recognition of cryptocurrency as a store of value but may also trigger more countries to follow Bitcoin reserve plans under the potential policy push from the Trump administration.
