Metaplanet and the strategy to accumulate 21,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2026
Metaplanet, a listed financial consulting company based in Japan, has announced its Bitcoin Plan 2025-2026.
In practice, it seems that the Metaplanet strategy aims to accumulate 10,000 Bitcoin (BTC) by the end of 2025 and 21,000 Bitcoin (BTC) by the end of 2026.
The ultimate goal of the company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange would be to become one of the largest holders of BTC globally.
Since Metaplanet started purchasing its first BTC in April 2024, it seems to have grown exponentially. Not only that, Simon Gerovich, Representative Director of Metaplanet emphasized the following:
“The market has recognized Metaplanet as the most important Bitcoin company in Tokyo, and we are seizing this momentum to consolidate our position as a global leader. Our vision is to lead the Bitcoin renaissance in Japan and to emerge as one of the largest Bitcoin holders globally. This plan is our commitment to this future.”
Metaplanet and the Bitcoin Plan 2025-2026
For 2026, Metaplanet has described the “21 Million Plan”, which involves the issuance of 21 million shares through moving strike warrant and represents the largest equity capital raising in Asia for Bitcoin, with a target of 16.65 billion yen.
On the contrary, for 2025, the Bitcoin treasury target is 10,000 BTC by the end of the year, in order to further expand the Company’s treasury.
Not only that, Metaplanet describes the 2025 target for BTC yield, stating that it aims to achieve a BTC yield of 35% per quarter throughout 2025, maintaining a strong focus on the growth of Bitcoin per share.
In this regard, Dylan LeClair, director of Bitcoin strategy at Metaplanet, said:
“The yield in Bitcoin is the foundation of our strategy and the ultimate measure of our success. We do not measure performance in fiat currencies like the yen or the dollar: our benchmark is Bitcoin itself. Our mission is to maximize Bitcoin per share for our shareholders. Bitcoin is not just an asset, but an exit strategy. We are here to accumulate and lead, not to sell.”
The 15th largest company holder of BTC in the world
In the overall ranking of BTC holding companies worldwide, led by MicroStrategy of Michael Saylor, Metaplanet is in 15th place. In fact, Metaplanet currently holds a total of 1,762 BTC.
The Japanese company since May 2024 has declared to have adopted Bitcoin as a reserve value asset.
At that moment, Metaplanet was only in the 31st position in the ranking of BTC holding companies, with only 117.7 BTC in its wallet.
Metaplanet had declared its intention to hold Bitcoin long-term to ensure minimally realized taxable gains, thus being able to acquire more BTC over time by issuing yen liabilities when the opportunity arises.
