#MetaplanetBTCPurchase Metaplanet Reaches $1 Billion in Bitcoin Reserves and Announces Ambitious Expansion Plan

Tokyo, June 16, 2025 – Metaplanet, the Japanese company, has announced that its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings have surpassed $1 billion, equivalent to 10,000 BTC. This figure positions it as a prominent player in the corporate landscape of Bitcoin holders.

This achievement comes after the recent acquisition of 1,112 BTC, financed through the issuance of $210 million in zero-interest ordinary bonds to Evo Fund, with the entirety of the funds allocated for the purchase of Bitcoin. The company, which has redirected its business model from the hospitality sector to the accumulation of Bitcoin, has outlined an ambitious goal: to reach 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. If achieved, this target would represent approximately 1% of the total Bitcoin supply.

Metaplanet's shares (3350T) experienced an increase of over 20% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange following these announcements, reaching 12-year highs. Despite the notable growth and a market capitalization exceeding one trillion yen, analysts caution about the risks associated with this high concentration strategy in a single asset, pointing to potential sensitivities to Bitcoin's price volatility and dilution for existing shareholders resulting from future stock issuances.
