Metaplanet wants to raise its Bitcoin holdings from 1,762 BTC to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. Simon Gerovich, the company’s CEO, revealed the ambitious vision on January 5, highlighting the company’s dedication to utilizing innovative financial methods to achieve its goals.
The company’s current Bitcoin reserves are worth more than $173 million, making it Asia’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder and the world’s 15th largest. Metaplanet intends to imitate MicroStrategy’s approach to Bitcoin accumulation by employing advanced capital market tactics such as share offerings and loans.
According to Simon Gerovich, the goal of this project is to generate a global movement rather than simply building the corporation. He expressed optimism about the prospects of Bitcoin adoption in Japan and elsewhere, citing the company’s active role in encouraging cryptocurrency integration into the financial sector.
Happy New Year to Our Valued Shareholders! As we step into 2025, I couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead for Metaplanet. Last year was transformational, as we broke records, expanded our Bitcoin treasury, and reinforced our position as Asia’s leading Bitcoin Treasury… pic.twitter.com/K2HsOS8TaZ

The decision comes as market analysts estimate that Bitcoin could soon top $200,000, owing to favorable market conditions and prospective government initiatives. Gerovich stated that if the United States uses Bitcoin as a strategic reserve in response to anticipated policy changes, it might set off a worldwide trend, prompting countries such as Japan to follow suit.
Metaplanet’s concentration on Bitcoin has already yielded extraordinary results. In 2024, the company had substantial growth, with milestones including an increase in shareholder value and stock price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The company’s commitment to transparency and innovation has cemented its place as a leader in the Asian cryptocurrency sector. As Metaplanet focuses on this big aim for 2025, it continues to inspire confidence among stakeholders and advocates for Bitcoin’s transformative potential on a global scale.
