Metaplanet Inc., an investment firm based in Tokyo, has revealed an ambitious strategy to purchase over 210,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2027—roughly 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply. This move mirrors MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin play in the U.S. and signals Metaplanet’s intent to become a major force in the global crypto market.

Massive Bitcoin Fundraising Through Innovative Equity Tool

To finance this large-scale Bitcoin acquisition, Metaplanet has launched the largest Bitcoin-centered equity raise in Asia. The firm plans to raise ¥770.9 billion (approximately $5.4 billion) by issuing 555 million shares using a new financial instrument called moving strike warrants. This tool, making its debut in Japan, allows the exercise price to change based on market conditions. That flexibility offers potential rewards to investors even in volatile markets.

This plan marks a significant shift from the company’s previous “21 Million Plan,” which aimed to accumulate 21,000 BTC by 2026. As of June 2, Metaplanet already holds 8,888 BTC. Encouraged by this momentum, the firm unveiled its “555 Million Plan,” setting new milestones:

30,000 BTC by the end of 2025
100,000 BTC by the end of 2026
210,000 BTC by the end of 2027

Strategic Vision Fueled by Bitcoin’s Potential

CEO Simon Gerovich reaffirmed Metaplanet’s dedication to the plan, stating, “We are honored to be on this journey with our shareholders. Metaplanet is accelerating into the future — powered by Bitcoin.”

The firm’s approach echoes a growing trend among global corporations: adopting Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to hedge against inflation and financial instability. By embracing tools like moving strike warrants, Metaplanet aims to both safeguard and grow shareholder value while navigating the unpredictable crypto landscape.

Metaplanet’s bold bet could inspire other firms to explore similar strategies, potentially speeding up institutional adoption of Bitcoin. As the company marches toward its 2027 goal, both the crypto industry and investors will be paying close attention.
