Metaplanet Goes All-In: $5 Billion U.S. Bitcoin Buying Spree Set to Shake Markets

Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet just dropped a bombshell—its aggressive U.S. expansion isn’t about real estate or tech. It’s a laser-focused play to hoard Bitcoin at scale.

The $5 Billion Gamble

Forget dipping toes—Metaplanet’s diving headfirst with a war chest that could buy 125,000 BTC at current prices. The move doubles down on their existing crypto strategy, now turbocharged with American market access.

Why This Hurts Shorts

Institutional accumulation at this level creates a supply shock. With ETFs already sucking up coins, Metaplanet’s entry might force Wall Street to finally take Bitcoin seriously—or get left holding empty bags.

Bonus jab: Because nothing says ‘sound monetary policy’ like corporations treating BTC like a corporate treasury black hole.

• Metaplanet announces $5 billion U.S. expansion to accelerate its aggressive Bitcoin treasury strategy.
• Share price skyrockets 1,250% as Metaplanet rapidly climbs global corporate BTC rankings.
• A bold 210,000 BTC target by 2027 puts the company on track to rival national reserves.

Metaplanet, the rising Japanese fintech powerhouse, has announced an ambitious plan to inject up to $5 billion into its U.S.-based subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury Corp. The move is part of its strategic ‘555 million plan’ and is aimed squarely at expanding its aggressive Bitcoin (BTC) treasury model on an international scale.

The new capital will position Metaplanet to tap into deeper liquidity pools in the United States. This is a move expected to significantly enhance its BTC acquisition strategy. Until now, the company has sourced most of its bitcoin through Japanese exchanges, notably BitFlyer, and direct acquisitions from private wallets such as those held by QCP Capital. This U.S. expansion marks a significant shift, enabling the firm to broaden its sourcing capabilities and scale up BTC purchases more efficiently.

As BTC supply continues to tighten on exchanges and OTC desks, institutional purchases like Metaplanet’s are becoming a key driver of market scarcity. Currently, corporate BTC buying is absorbing up to three times the amount of newly mined BTC every week, a trend that puts increasing supply pressure.

Metaplanet Surges 1,250%, Adds More Bitcoin

As of mid-2025, Metaplanet now holds 11,111 BTC, exceeding its previously stated goal of accumulating 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. This achievement has been fueled by the dramatic rise in the company’s share price, which surged over 1,250% in the past six months to a high of 1,895 JPY (approximately USD 13.05).

This surge in valuation has given the company the firepower needed for aggressive BTC accumulation, allowing it to outpace larger competitors like MicroStrategy (MSTR) in recent activity. While each company share currently reflects just 0.000018 BTC, significantly lower than MicroStrategy’s holdings per share, the company is quickly making up ground.

In the latest development, the firm added another 1,111 BTC to its reserves, making it the eighth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin and placing it within striking distance of Tesla, Inc. Notably, this latest acquisition outpaced MicroStrategy’s more modest weekly addition of 245 BTC, emphasizing the firm’s growing dominance in the BTC treasury space.

With corporate treasuries becoming more exclusive, a minimum holding of 21 BTC is now needed to break into the global top 100. Collectively, these top companies now hold around 834,000 BTC. The company’s rapid climb is not only boosting its crypto credentials but also fueling investor interest and market momentum.

Metaplanet Sets Bold 210,000 BTC Target by 2027

Metaplanet’s long-term vision is nothing short of audacious: the company aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, a figure that WOULD rival the reserves held by national governments. Few companies in the BTC space have laid out such a bold and transparent road map. While other top 10 corporate BTC holders have followed less structured acquisition strategies, the firm is pursuing a clear and consistent plan that combines market timing, strategic financing, and international expansion.

The company’s aggressive moves are already having Ripple effects across the market. Its rising stock price has helped boost the Market Vector index of crypto companies, which has been in a steady uptrend since the market lows in April.

Metaplanet’s U.S. expansion boosts its global visibility and financial access, positioning it for long-term growth in Bitcoin adoption. As more firms follow its lead, Metaplanet’s clear strategy and momentum may set the standard for corporate crypto integration.
