**Metaplanet Aims to Acquire 210,000 BTC by 2027 with Ambitious Plan**
Metaplanet Inc., recognized as Japan’s foremost Bitcoin treasury firm, has unveiled an ambitious strategy to significantly expand its Bitcoin holdings. The company has introduced the “555 Million Plan,” which aims to acquire over 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, representing approximately 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply. This announcement marks a substantial increase from its previous goal, the “21 Million Plan,” which targeted just 21,000 BTC by 2026.
The decision to ramp up its Bitcoin acquisition comes after Metaplanet exceeded expectations, securing 8,888 BTC as of June 2, 2025. To support this aggressive growth strategy, Metaplanet is launching Asia’s largest Bitcoin-focused equity raise, seeking to raise ¥770.9 billion (around $5.4 billion) through the issuance of 555 million shares via moving strike warrants. This innovative financial structure is the first of its kind in Japan, priced at a premium to the market, leveraging the company’s high share liquidity and volatility.
At the Annual General Meeting held on March 24, shareholders approved an increase in authorized shares from 161 million to 1.61 billion, following a 10-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 2025. With approximately 296 million authorized shares remaining, the new issuance will bring the total fully diluted shares outstanding to around 759 million.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin yield performance has shown remarkable momentum, with quarterly BTC yields of 41.7% in Q3 2024, 309.8% in Q4 2024, 95.6% in Q1 2025, and 66.3% in Q2 2025. The year-to-date BTC yield for 2025 stands at 225.4%, nearing the full-year target of 232%. Additionally, the company announced the issuance of the 20th to 22nd Series of Stock Acquisition Rights through a third-party allotment to EVO FUND, which could potentially add another 555 million shares. The initial exercise price is set at JPY 1,388, with adjustments based on stock prices, and the exercise period runs from June 24, 2025, to June 23, 2027.
Metaplanet’s CEO expressed gratitude to shareholders, emphasizing the company’s commitment to accelerating its growth trajectory powered by Bitcoin. The “555 Million Plan” not only aims to bolster the company’s Bitcoin reserves but also positions Metaplanet as a key player in the Asian cryptocurrency market.
