- Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings surpass 2,100 BTC, marking 10% of its goal to reach 21,000 BTC by 2026, signaling strong progress.
- Metaplanet’s stock will surge 80.75% in 2025, reflecting investor confidence as the firm continues its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy.
Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, has recently hit a key point in its journey toward holding 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026. With the purchase of an additional 68.59 BTC, the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings have now surpassed 2,100 BTC, marking approximately 10% of its target.
On Thursday, Metaplanet confirmed the acquisition of 68.59 BTC at an average price of $96,335 per Bitcoin, increasing its reserves to 2,100 BTC. This is an improvement from the 141 BTC held at the end of June 2024. However, as reported in our previous post, Metaplanet has set a goal to hold 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by the close of 2026. With the latest purchase, the firm has made progress toward reaching 10% of this ambitious target.
Stock Performance Reflects Investor Confidence
Metaplanet’s bold Bitcoin strategy has been well-received by the market, with its stock gaining. On Thursday, its stock price rose by 2.78%, closing at 6,290 yen. According to a CNF report, since the start of 2025, Metaplanet’s shares have surged by 80.75%, and in the past six months, its stock price has jumped by 427.24%. These gains make Metaplanet one of Japan’s top-performing stocks, showing investor confidence in its Bitcoin-focused strategy.
However, the company faced a setback in February 2025 when it announced a 10-for-1 stock split, leading to an 8% drop in share value. The split was part of improving liquidity after the stock’s sudden rise. Despite this, the firm’s stock has recovered, showing a 1.79% increase in the over-the-counter market following the Bitcoin purchase announcement.
In addition to growing its Bitcoin holdings, Metaplanet closely monitors its BTC Yield, a metric that measures the change in Bitcoin holdings relative to its fully diluted shares. For Q3 2024, Metaplanet reported a BTC Yield of 41.7%, which soared to 309.8% in Q4 2024.
Metaplanet is also raising funds to support its Bitcoin strategy. Earlier this year, the company raised around $20 million through its “21M Plan.” This capital is earmarked for further Bitcoin acquisitions, underlining the firm’s commitment to expanding its holdings.
Metaplanet’s Position in the Bitcoin Market
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin expansion has helped it secure an eminent position in the crypto market. It is now the largest component in the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index (BLOCK Index), with a 6.27% weighting. The firm’s growing presence in this index shows its commitment to a Bitcoin-first strategy, highlighting its potential as a player in the crypto space.
Following this announcement, Bitcoin’s strong performance continues to drive investor interest. As of press time, Bitcoin was trading at $97,204.80, recording an increase of 1.35% over the past 24 hours.
