Metaplanet Hits Milestone on Path to 10x Bitcoin Holdings By 2026 End

Published by

Metaplanet has announced a fresh acquisition of 269.43 BTC taking its total Bitcoin holdings to 2,100, in less than a year of starting to build its BTC reserves. With this, the Japanese firm also attained the milestone of acquiring 0.01% of the total BTC supply. Besides, the firm has also set an ambitious target to 10x its BTC holdings within the next two years, by the end of 2026.

Metaplanet Achieves 10% of Its Final Target

Earlier today, Japan’s MicroStrategy announced the purchase of an additional 68.59 BTC for approximately $6.6 million, at an average price of $96,335 per bitcoin. This shows that the company has managed to squeeze in on the Bitcoin dips before the BTC price recovery back to $97,000.

The company’s Bitcoin holdings have yielded an impressive 18% year-to-date (YTD) return in 2025. As of February 20, 2025, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin reserve stands at 2,100 BTC, acquired at a cumulative cost of $169.9 million, averaging $80,905 per BTC.

Since initiating its Bitcoin strategy in April 2024, the firm has significantly grown its holdings, reaffirming its conviction that Bitcoin is the world’s only truly scarce asset. Speaking on the development, company CEO Simon Gerovich stated:

“This milestone is just one step in our long-term plan to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026, as Metaplanet remains committed to our Bitcoin-first strategy and maximizing long-term shareholder value”.

Raising Another $20 Million To Bolster Bitcoin Strategy

Japan’s MicroStrategy has secured approximately $20 million in equity capital during the first two trading days of its “21M Plan,” a strategic initiative designed to bolster its Bitcoin-focused investment strategy. The announcement came from Metaplanet Bitcoin Strategist Dylan LeClair, highlighting the company’s commitment to reinforcing its BTC holdings and advancing its long-term vision.

Earlier this week, the company announced successfully raising JPY 4 billion through 0% unsecured bonds, with the funds earmarked for further Bitcoin acquisitions in 2026 and 2027. It also revealed that it has allocated over $700 million toward its previous initiative to add 21,000 BTC to its Treasury by the end of 2026, underscoring its continued commitment to its Bitcoin strategy. MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor has also appreciated the Japanese firm’s roadmap to build its BTC reserves.

Metaplanet Stock to Hit New All-Time High Soon?

Metaplanet stock has surged a staggering 75% since the beginning of 2025 hitting an all-time high above 7,000 JPY earlier this month. After partial retracement from the highs, the stock is once again on the upward trajectory gaining 2% today moving to 6,260 levels.

The firm also achieved the distinction of being the largest component in the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index (BLOCK Index), holding a 6.27% weighting. “We’re honored to stand alongside industry leaders and remain committed to demonstrating what a Bitcoin-first approach can achieve for listed companies,” noted Gerovich.
