By 2025, the trend of Bitcoin as a strategic asset for companies has become increasingly significant, with multiple global listed companies demonstrating firm confidence in this decentralized digital asset by continuously increasing their Bitcoin holdings. According to recent announcements, the UK blockchain company Coinsilium Group Limited, the Japanese energy consultancy Remixpoint, and the Japanese investment company Metaplanet have all recently intensified their Bitcoin reserve efforts, reflecting deep insights into corporate responses to macroeconomic uncertainty, hedging against inflation, and the long-term value potential of digital assets.
Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation: Latest Developments
Coinsilium: Steady Accumulation, Focused on Long-Term Value
On June 16, UK-listed blockchain company Coinsilium Group Limited announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Forza Gibraltar Limited purchased 6.5577 Bitcoins for £510,000 (approximately $662,609.40), with an average purchase price of £77,770.36 (approximately $105,572.30). As a result, Forza has accumulated a total of 25.2392 Bitcoins, with a total value of approximately £1,962,695.09 (approximately $2,662,609.40).
Remixpoint: Diversified Cryptocurrency Asset Layout
On the same day, Japanese listed company Remixpoint disclosed that it had additionally purchased Bitcoin worth 200 million yen (approximately $1.386 million) on June 13, totaling about 13.3 coins, with an average purchase price of 15.042 million yen (approximately $104,240). As of June 15, Remixpoint's total crypto assets exceeded 17.1 billion yen (approximately $118.5 million), including 1,051 Bitcoins, 901 Ethereums, and other cryptocurrencies, with an estimated valuation gain of about 1.763 billion yen (approximately $12.22 million) during the period. Remixpoint's cryptocurrency investment strategy is not limited to Bitcoin but also includes various assets such as Ethereum, Solana, and XRP.
Metaplanet: The Rise of Asia's 'MicroStrategy'
On June 16, according to data from bitcointreasuries, Japanese investment company Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings officially surpassed 10,000 coins, reaching 10,000 BTC, with a total value of approximately $1 billion, surpassing Coinbase Global (9267 BTC) and ranking ninth among global listed companies in Bitcoin holdings, only behind Hut 8 (10,273 BTC). Metaplanet achieved this milestone by purchasing 1,112 Bitcoins on June 16 (at an average price of approximately $105,000), funded by $210 million in zero-coupon bonds issued to the EVO Fund. Since launching its Bitcoin reserve strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has cumulatively invested over 122 billion yen (approximately $850 million) at an average purchase price of $93,354/BTC. Its annualized return on Bitcoin (BTC Yield) is as high as 225.4%, becoming a benchmark for corporate Bitcoin investments globally.
The company plans to hold 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and reach 210,000 BTC by 2027, equivalent to 1% of the total Bitcoin supply, showcasing its ambition as the 'Asian MicroStrategy.'
Driving Factors: Why Are Companies Competing to Accumulate?
1. Macroeconomic Pressures and Hedging Demand
In 2025, the global economy faces multiple challenges: escalating geopolitical risks, rising debt levels in major economies, and declining attractiveness of traditional 'safe assets' such as long-term government bonds. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin, due to its fixed supply cap of 21 million, decentralized nature, and anti-inflation properties, is gradually being viewed by companies as a strategic reserve asset.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated in a June 6 announcement that the global economy is shifting from a traditional capital and labor-driven model to an information technology-driven model, and that Bitcoin, as an asset with 'high scarcity, ease of custody and transfer, and no credit intermediaries,' is rapidly gaining strategic importance. Remixpoint also clearly stated that its cryptocurrency asset investments are a hedging strategy against the depreciation of the yen, reflecting Japanese companies' concerns about the decline in local currency purchasing power.
2. Innovative Empowerment of Capital Markets
The support from capital markets is essential for companies to increase their Bitcoin holdings.
Metaplanet raises funds through zero-coupon bonds, moving strike warrants, and other tools, reducing financing costs while maximizing shareholder value.
Remixpoint utilizes new stock reservation rights to quickly replenish funds.
Coinsilium's prudent purchasing strategy relies on its mature Bitcoin reserve policy, ensuring the transparency and efficiency of fund usage.
These innovative financing methods reduce the pressure on companies to directly utilize cash flow, while amplifying the potential returns of Bitcoin investments through equity or debt instruments, offering shareholders higher return potential.
3. Market Sentiment and First-Mover Advantage
The 120% increase in Bitcoin's price in 2024 and the continued rise at the beginning of 2025 (with prices around $107,000 as of June 16) have further fueled corporate enthusiasm for accumulation. Metaplanet's stock price has risen over 1,744% since April 2024, with the number of shareholders surging from 10,800 at the end of 2023 to 63,600 by March 2025, reflecting the market's high recognition of its Bitcoin strategy.
The success of pioneers has encouraged more companies to join. After achieving the goal of 'minimum 1,000 BTC' on June 13, Remixpoint clearly stated its intention to continue expanding its cryptocurrency asset reserves. Coinsilium's advisor James Van Straten (also a senior analyst at CoinDesk) pointed out that Bitcoin is becoming a global trend as part of corporate asset allocation.
Potential Impact and Risks
1. Reshaping the Global Financial Landscape
If Metaplanet achieves its target of 210,000 BTC, it will hold 1% of the total Bitcoin supply, potentially affecting market liquidity and price stability. Additionally, the increase in corporate Bitcoin reserves may prompt more countries to consider incorporating Bitcoin into their strategic reserves. Gerovich has predicted that if the U.S. adopts a Bitcoin reserve policy, countries like Japan may quickly follow suit.
This centralization trend may also trigger regulatory concerns. Japan's stringent financial regulatory environment has restricted retail investors from directly entering the Bitcoin market, and companies providing indirect exposure to Bitcoin through equity may face additional compliance pressures.
2. Market Volatility and Valuation Risks
The extreme volatility of Bitcoin prices brings high returns to companies, but also comes with risks. Metaplanet recorded a valuation loss of 7.4 billion yen at the end of March 2025 due to a Bitcoin price correction, although the subsequent market rebound brought about unrealized gains of 13.5 billion yen.
Metaplanet's stock has a 'Bitcoin premium' of up to $596,000, indicating that the cost for investors to indirectly hold Bitcoin through stocks is much higher than spot prices, potentially laying the groundwork for bubble risks. Although Remixpoint's diversified cryptocurrency asset strategy mitigates single-asset risks, the volatility of assets like Ethereum and Solana cannot be overlooked. Coinsilium's prudent strategy somewhat avoids the risks of excessive leverage, but its relatively small reserves may limit its influence in the market.
Final Thoughts: Strategic Choices in a New Arena
In the wave of global economic structural transformation, Bitcoin is not only a product of technology but also a new battlefield for capital games. Who can stand out in this arena may reshape the wealth landscape for the next decade.
