Metaplanet Targets 210,000 BTC with Fast Growth and Simple Strategy

Metaplanet is growing its Bitcoin treasury fast, using equity sales and debt funding. Since June 30, Metaplanet has added over 4,200 BTC, mostly by using stock acquisition rights. In July, Metaplanet used ¥12.75 billion ($88.99 million) from bond redemptions to purchase more Bitcoin.

The latest Bitcoin purchase came after the company filed plans on Friday to raise 555 billion yen ($3.7 billion). It will issue new preferred shares to support its Bitcoin buying strategy. The company has set clear targets—30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027. This is the same method Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, used to grow its Bitcoin holdings to over 628,700 BTC.

Gerovich said:

“Our goal is to have multiple tools to raise capital for buying Bitcoin. On a Bitcoin standard, the mission is to continuously grow Bitcoin per share. Issuing perpetual preferreds is a highly accretive tool designed to maximize long-term shareholder value.”
