Historic Raise: $5.4 Billion for Bitcoin Acquisition
According to CEO Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet’s latest capital injection—exceeding 770.9 billion yen ($5.4 billion)—marks the largest single fundraising event in Asian history dedicated to Bitcoin exposure. The issuance was executed at a premium to market price, made possible by “Metaplanet’s high volatility and deep liquidity,” Gerovich noted. Investors responded strongly, positioning Metaplanet as a benchmark for corporate Bitcoin strategies across the region.
Strategic Goal: 1% of Global Bitcoin Supply
The newly raised capital is earmarked entirely for Bitcoin acquisition, with Metaplanet targeting control of 1% of the world’s BTC supply. The company’s ongoing “210 Million Plan” has already delivered impressive results:
- 93.3 billion yen ($650 million) raised over 60 trading days
- Bitcoin portfolio yield of 189%
- Share price tripled in the same period
- Entry into the global top 10 public companies by total BTC holdings
Accelerating Bitcoin Accumulation
On June 2, 2025, Metaplanet announced the acquisition of 1,088 BTC worth $118 million, with a stated goal to amass 10,000 BTC by year-end. Looking ahead, the company has set aggressive targets—100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC (representing roughly 1% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist) by 2027.
