Metaplanet’s strategic Bitcoin bid
With an ambitious target to eventually control 1% of BTC’s total supply by acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027, Metaplanet has been ramping up its accumulation throughout 2025.
So far in Q3 alone, the company has bought around 5,556 BTC, largely funded through a mix of equity issuance, debt financing, and proceeds from the exercise of stock acquisition rights.

Metaplanet is also laying the groundwork for far larger acquisitions. Earlier this month, it filed plans to raise 555 billion yen ($3.8 billion) by issuing two classes of Bitcoin-backed preferred shares over the next two years.
In the near term, the company aims to hold 30,000 BTC by year-end 2025. and 100,000 BTC by 2026. With its latest purchase, Metaplanet now sits 11,112 BTC away from this year’s target. To close the gap over the next six months, the firm will need to stay committed to or step up its current accumulation pace, as it pushes toward its bigger 210,000 BTC ambition.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has been under pressure in recent days. Trading at $115,436 at press time, the asset is down about 2.3% over the past 24 hours and 5.4% on the week, as it continues to cool off from last week’s surge to a new all-time high above $124,000.
