Canada Aims to Hoard 1% of Global Bitcoin Supply by 2027 – Can It Pull Off the Ultimate Crypto Power Play?
North America's sleeping giant wakes up—and it wants Bitcoin.
Canada's crypto ecosystem is making a bold grab for 1% of all Bitcoin in circulation within two years. That's 210,000 BTC at current supply levels—enough to make Wall Street's goldbugs twitch.
The Maple Leaf Moonshot
No more polite crypto adoption. Canadian miners, ETFs, and institutional investors are teaming up like hockey lines chasing a loose puck. Their target? Controlling a full percentage point of the hardest money ever created.
Why This Matters
1% may sound modest—until you realize that's more BTC than MicroStrategy held before their last leverage-fueled shopping spree. It's enough to sway markets, attract regulatory scrutiny, and possibly trigger FOMO among pension funds still obsessed with 'diversified' bond portfolios.
Watch this space—the Great White North just declared economic sovereignty in the digital age. (And Goldman Sachs will probably launch a 'strategic Bitcoin advisory group' within 48 hours.)
Board Sets Clear Targets
According to Matador’s recent announcement, the Toronto‑based company wants to own roughly 1% of all Bitcoin. That level would slot it into the top 20 public companies holding the top crypto asset worldwide.
To hit that mark, Matador is working toward an interim goal of 1,000 BTC by December 31, 2026. Then it will push on toward as many as 6,000 BTC by the end of 2027—if market prices and financing line up.

A Layered Funding Strategy
Matador won’t rely on a single funding source. It plans at‑the‑market equity offerings alongside convertible financings. Sale of non‑core assets will add capital.
The company may tap BTC‑backed credit lines and look for acquisitions or partnerships to raise more funds. Management says it will weigh each purchase against price, timing, and impact on bitcoin per share. That way, every deal counts toward boosting holdings without veering off course.
The company’s playbook isn’t just about buying Bitcoin. It features a four‑part “compounding flywheel.” First, Matador will build its reserve. Next, it will seek yield through volatility‑based tools and synthetic mining. Then it plans Bitcoin‑denominated products for investors.
Finally, it aims to back blockchain infrastructure and DeFi startups. In June 2025, Matador broke ground in Europe with its Frankfurt listing under “IU3,” and it also moved into India, taking a 24% stake in HODL Systems.
Growth Among PeersMatador joins a growing crowd of public firms stocking up on Bitcoin. US‑based Semler Scientific has outlined plans to add about 105,000 BTC by 2027 under a new Director of Bitcoin Strategy.
Tokyo‑listed Metaplanet already passed its own 10,000 BTC target for 2025 and is racing toward 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. Each company uses equity, debt, or operating cash FLOW to fuel its buys.
Matador’s leadership says every step will hinge on market moves, investor interest, and regulatory approval. That mix of factors could speed up or slow down the plan. But with clear milestones and a multi‑channel funding roadmap, the Canadian Bitcoin firm is betting it can build a strong reserve.
