Metaplanet plans to increase Bitcoin holdings to 10K BTC in 2025

Metaplanet, a Japan-based venture capital firm, has set a goal to expand its Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) holdings from 1,762 BTC to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.

This would represent an increase of 467%.

The firm’s current Bitcoin stash is valued at approximately $173.4 million, based on its 19 purchases.

In a January 5 post on X, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the company plans to achieve its target using “the most accretive capital market tools available to us.”

Metaplanet's strategy includes promoting Bitcoin adoption in both Japan and globally, with Gerovich emphasising that the firm aims to have a broader impact on the Bitcoin ecosystem.

"We’re not just building a company but driving a movement," he said.

Metaplanet has already made a significant mark, holding the title of the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia and ranking 15th among publicly listed companies globally in terms of Bitcoin holdings, according to BitcoinTreasuries data.

The firm’s decision to expand its Bitcoin holdings aligns with broader market predictions.

Asset managers VanEck and Bitwise forecast that Bitcoin could rise to $180,000 to $200,000 in 2025, driven by factors like a potential Bitcoin reserve strategy in the US under the incoming Trump administration.

Gerovich suggested that such a move could trigger a global domino effect, with countries like Japan closely following the US' lead.

Metaplanet's Bitcoin accumulation has been notable, particularly in 2024, when the firm saw Bitcoin rise by 120%.

Its largest purchase occurred on December 23, 2024, when it acquired 619.7 BTC, representing over 35% of its total Bitcoin holdings.

The firm’s shares have increased by 27.5% since it began accumulating Bitcoin in April 2024 at an average price of $77,196 per BTC.

At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin (BTC) price was $99,063.30.
