Metaplanet eyes upping Bitcoin holdings to 10K BTC in 2025

Metaplanet holds 1,762 Bitcoin and wants to increase its stash by 467% to hold 10,000 in total.

Metaplanet is aiming to expand its Bitcoin stash more than fivefold to 10,000 Bitcoin in 2025, as analysts predict a bull run this year that could see Bitcoin rise above $200,000.

The Japan-based venture capital firm was one of the most notable companies to follow MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment playbook in 2024 and currently holds 1,762 Bitcoin $BTC worth $173.4 million from 19 purchases.

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said in a Jan. 5 X post that its aim this year is to increase its holdings to 10,000 BTC “by utilizing the most accretive capital market tools available to us.” 

Gerovich also said it aims to advance Bitcoin adoption in Japan and globally, as well as to “grow Metaplanet’s impact in Japan and the Bitcoin ecosystem.”

“We’re not just building a company but driving a movement,” said Gerovich. Metaplanet is the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia and has the 15th largest Bitcoin holdings among publicly listed companies, according to BitcoinTreasuries data.
