Metaplanet Continues to Build on Its Bitcoin Strategy

As part of its long-term strategy, Metaplanet is aggressively working to accumulate a significant amount of Bitcoin, with a target of more than 10,000 BTC by 2025 and reaching 21,000 BTC by 2026.

Since Metaplanet launched its plan in 2024, the Japanese Company has repeatedly gone on different Bitcoin shopping sprees. On July 8, 2024, the Company announced its purchase of 42.47 Bitcoins, worth about 400 million Japanese Yen (approximately $2.3 million). This purchase brought Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to over 203 BTC, worth about 2 billion Yen (over $11 million).

The Company splurged on another round of purchases in October after buying 1 billion Japanese Yen worth of Bitcoin, which was worth about $7 million at the time of purchase.

Earlier this year, on March 5, Metaplanet bought an additional 497 BTC, worth about $43.9 million. The purchase, which brought its total Bitcoin holdings to 2,888 Bitcoin (BTC), was purchased at an average price of $88,448.

Metaplanet’s relentless Bitcoin accumulation, driven by its conviction in the asset as a hedge against Japan’s economic uncertainty, underscores its commitment to achieving its strategic goals amidst market volatility.

The Company has been raising the necessary capital to support its ambitious plan through a combination of equity and debt financing, including innovative financial instruments like zero-coupon bonds and partnerships with investors like EVO FUND.
