Metaplanet Races Ahead With $108M Bitcoin Accumulation
Tokyo digital asset firm Metaplanet is ramping up its Bitcoin strategy significantly. The firm just bought another 1,005 bitcoin worth $108 million, bringing its total bitcoin stash to 13,350 and putting it over $1 billion in value—placing it ahead of Cleanspark and Galaxy Digital. Metaplanet just became one of the five largest corporate Bitcoin holders.
The firm’s aggressive expansion comes shortly after it announced it will issue $208 million worth of zero-interest bonds to fund its Bitcoin purchases and pay down higher-interest debt. The result? A more cost-effective, interest-free capital plan for an ever-expanding Bitcoin war chest now worth about $1.45 billion.
Strategic Financing Powers Bold Accumulation
The most recent acquisition was not simply a treasury purchase but part of a bigger play. The EVO Fund of Metaplanet issued 30 billion yen ($208M) in zero-coupon bonds. The proceeds will be used to repurchase old bonds with a 0.36% interest rate, while the remainder goes towards direct Bitcoin purchases.
By doing so, Metaplanet has essentially secured an interest-free capital pool—rare in today’s markets. This structure enables more allocation to BTC without raising the borrowing costs reflected on its balance sheet.
Fast-Track Plan: 100K BTC by 2026, 210K by 2027
Initially, in January, Metaplanet targeted 21,000 BTC by 2026. But the company has now upgraded the goal to 100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. It calls this the “555 Million Plan”—with the goal of raising $5.4 billion to support this aggressive Bitcoin accumulation.
CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the firm’s Bitcoin yield is already up 349% in 2025, due to favorable market timing and buy points during the rally. This performance, along with strategic execution, is positioning Metaplanet as a major player in the digital assets space.
Stock Soars 9% as Investors Rally Behind Strategy
Investors have responded positively to Metaplanet’s bold moves. After the announcement, the company’s stock surged 9% in Tokyo markets, extending its 350% rally in 2025. This is a sign of how transparent and confident crypto-focused corporate strategies can influence market behavior.
New Market Leader in Asia’s Bitcoin Arena
Metaplanet’s 13,350 BTC holding surpasses Galaxy Digital (12,830 BTC) and Cleanspark (12,502 BTC), placing it fifth globally. Only MicroStrategy (now Strategy), Marathon Digital, Twenty One Capital, and Riot Platforms hold more.
This shift signals that Metaplanet is becoming Asia’s corporate Bitcoin leader, driving adoption through innovative financing and sharp execution.
Saylor and Gerovich: A Partnership for Change
As Metaplanet continues its rise, parallels are being drawn with Michael Saylor, whose firm Strategy now holds 597,325 BTC. This weekend, Saylor teased another Bitcoin buy, and Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich directly replied:
“We buy every day. I will eventually look back and wish I had moved even faster.”
This echoes a common belief among Bitcoin-heavy firms: that only the boldest will reap the largest rewards in the future of decentralized finance.
Conclusion
Metaplanet is rapidly emerging as a dominant force in the Bitcoin treasury game through aggressive accumulation, zero-interest financing, and long-term strategic thinking. With a goal of outperforming traditional assets like gold and Ethereum, Metaplanet is becoming a trailblazer in digital finance and institutional crypto adoption.
