Benchmark Sets Metaplanet Stock Target to 2400 JPY on Bitcoin Acquisition, Buy the Dips?

Highlights

Metaplanet Stock Correction Is a Buy The Dip Opportunity, Says Benchmark

Analysts at Benchmark Equity Research recently initiated coverage with a ‘buy’ rating for the Metaplanet stock, setting up the target price of 2,400 JPY. This comes amid the company’s massive Bitcoin acquisition spree, surpassing Tesla, CleanSpark, and Galaxy Digital over the past week. The company holds 13,350 BTC as of now, with the goal to increase it to 30,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025.

Within a year of kickstarting in Bitcoin treasury plan based on Michael Saylor’s blueprint, the company’s stock has already surged by a massive 1500% since then. The Benchmark analysts wrote:

“Since its launch, Metaplanet has been the best performing stock in Japan by 10x. We believe the shares are poised to continue their upward climb as Metaplanet continues to execute its financing strategy and adds to its bitcoin holdings”.

Furthermore, as Metaplanet advances its “555 Million Plan” of acquiring 1% of the Bitcoin supply by 2027, the analysts believe that the company’s efficient capital allocation can drive the Metaplanet stock price higher. They further added that the company’s moving strike warrants are designed to thrive in periods of significant stock price fluctuations. The heightened volatility allows investors to exercise these warrants at a profit, increasing their attractiveness in the market. This unique mechanism further boosts the demand for Metaplanet’s financial instruments, while strengthening the company’s access to capital.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Yield Surges

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich has highlighted a significant surge in its Bitcoin (BTC) yield, showcasing robust growth in 2025. The company’s year-to-date (YTD) BTC yield has soared to an impressive 348.8%, surpassing its previous record of 309.8% in Q4 2024.

However, Metaplanet cautioned that this figure partly reflects the low BTC holdings at the start of the year. Thus, it notes that such growth rates might not be sustainable as the holdings increase. In Q2 2025, Metaplanet achieved a BTC yield of 129.4%, exceeding the 95.6% yield reported in Q1. This continued acceleration highlights not only the company’s ability to sustain momentum but also to compound its gains effectively.
