Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin Bet with Aggressive 210K BTC Target by 2027

Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet just fired up the printing press—not for yen, but for Bitcoin. The company announced fresh financing aimed at amassing a staggering 210,000 BTC war chest within three years.

Because when traditional markets wobble, why not YOLO into digital gold? The move signals a high-stakes pivot to crypto—while Wall Street still debates ETF fees.

Can they hit the target? With Bitcoin's volatility, even the math looks like a rollercoaster equation. But in finance, sometimes the boldest bets cash in—or crash spectacularly.

Metaplanet relies on a balanced financing plan to fuel growth

Metaplanet has relied on a balanced financing plan between stock and debt issuance since the beginning of the year. The company issued 21 million shares in five installments under a strategy called a 210 Million Plan. It acquired 12.8 million shares in the 14th and 17th series, contributing to more than 35 billion yen, about 42% of the planned stock issuance.

The company has already completed early repayment of several installments, including the 9th series due in September, using the proceeds of stock issuance to pay the full 2 billion yen in bond value.

The “Japanese MicroStrategy” stock price went up by 21% on Tuesday to an all-time high of 1,423 JPY following the company’s recent purchase of 1,088 BTC. The company stock has risen by 255% since the beginning of the year, attracting more investors. Since last month, the company’s stock has increased 181%, outperforming major Japanese companies. 

Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet’s CEO, has publicly shown on-chain verification of the company’s assets, building confidence among investors by providing proof of reserve for its Bitcoin holdings. 

Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, criticized proof of reserve at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference, saying it poses a security risk. Strategy bought 705 BTC for $75 million, but the stock increased by only 1 % on Monday. Analysts believe Metaplanet’s transparency has given them a competitive advantage by attracting investor confidence. 

Metaplanet targets 210,000 BTC accumulation in 2 years 

The 555 Million Plan, as described by Metaplanet, followed the 210 Million Plan, which targets 30,000 BTC holdings from the previous 10,000 BTC in 2025.  The company plans to hold 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and increase it to 210,000 BTC in 2027 to become a major player in the Bitcoin game. 

Metaplanet’s decision could trigger the Bitcoin market to surge as more institutional investors MOVE to BTC to save their assets against inflation and potential growth in value. Bitcoin is trading at $103,794.60 today, up 2.15% after the announcement.

144 companies have adopted a Bitcoin treasury, with 114 of them being publicly traded companies. 

Gerry O’Shea, Head of Global Markets at Hashdex, revealed that TRUMP Media, GameStop, K33, and Paris Saint-Germain have recently adopted the Bitcoin Strategy to advance their Bitcoin treasuries. Strategy remains the biggest holder, accumulating 580,250 BTC worth approximately $60.9 billion.

The Japanese company revealed it achieved a BTC yield of 225.4% from the beginning of this year, signaling a high shareholder value. BTC yield assesses the effectiveness of the Bitcoin acquisition strategy in driving shareholder value.

The company revealed that they share the Strategy belief that Bitcoin-backed securities FORM the link between the old financial world and the new. It added that the issuance of perpetual duration securities backed by Bitcoin in the U.S. marks a critical point in the global shift of capital markets.

According to the company, Bitcoin is dematerializing $300 trillion of 20th-century analog store of value assets.
