The company’s aggressive accumulation strategy follows its successful capital raise in mid-2024, structured through zero-discount moving strike warrants. The funding was dubbed “Asia’s largest-ever” bitcoin-focused capital raise.

Metaplanet’s proprietary BTC Yield metric, which measures bitcoin-per-share growth, reached 121.1% YTD. The company aims to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.

The company’s bitcoin strategy mirrors that of U.S.-based Strategy, with both firms focusing on bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. Metaplanet now ranks among the top 10 publicly listed bitcoin holders globally.

The acquisition comes as bitcoin trades around $92,800, with institutional interest continuing to grow through various investment vehicles including ETFs and corporate treasury allocations.
