Metaplanet approved $5 billion for its U S unit to support its plan to buy 30,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025.
The company aims to hold 210,000 Bitcoin by 2027 and expand its treasury through global capital allocation.
Despite a drop in stock price, Metaplanet gained strong support from major institutional investors this month.
Metaplanet has approved a $5 billion capital contribution to its U.S. subsidiary. This decision aims to support the company’s ongoing plan to expand its Bitcoin Treasury. The capital will be directed toward acquiring 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025. The company intends to use stock acquisition rights to raise the allocated funds.

This move comes one day after Metaplanet added 1,111 BTC to its reserves. The company’s total holdings have now reached 11,111 BTC. This puts Metaplanet just behind Tesla as one of the world’s largest corporate holders of Bitcoin. The goal is to own 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.
U.S. Subsidiary Enters Expansion Phase
Metaplanet launched its fully-owned U.S. unit in Miami, Florida, last month. The subsidiary was created to support the firm’s global Bitcoin strategy. According to the company, it has now completed the initial setup phase. With this, the U.S. arm has officially entered an aggressive expansion stage.
The firm plans to allocate capital across strategic regions to build a global treasury structure. This strategy falls under its “555 Million Plan,” first outlined on June 6, 2025. The plan aims to strengthen the company’s long-term Bitcoin position. The firm believes this approach will support shareholder value and increase treasury efficiency.
Stock Sees Institutional Interest Despite Drop
Despite the major announcement, Metaplanet’s stock has seen recent declines. On Monday, its U.S.-listed shares (MTPLF) dropped 5.9% to $11.64. Its Tokyo-listed stock also fell by 6.36% during Tuesday trading. These drops come after a recent rally and may reflect short-term selling pressure.
However, institutional investors continue to show strong interest. Citigroup and Capital Group purchased one million and two million shares, respectively, earlier this month. This level of interest signals confidence in Metaplanet’s long-term strategy. The recent decline may be a temporary market reaction.
Focus on Long-Term Bitcoin Holdings
Metaplanet adopted its Bitcoin strategy in April 2024. Since then, it has rapidly increased its holdings through large purchases. The firm views Bitcoin as a tool to boost shareholder returns. It also aims to lead corporate Bitcoin adoption on a global scale.
The company noted that the financial effect of this capital move will likely be minimal this fiscal year. It committed to disclosing any future material changes. Metaplanet appears focused on building a long-term Bitcoin treasury that supports its global ambitions.
