Japanese Firm Aims for 1% of Bitcoin Supply with Ambitious Acquisition Strategy

Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-listed investment company, has unveiled an ambitious plan to raise $5.4 billion (770 billion yen) through the issuance of 555 million shares, aiming to expand its bitcoin holdings to 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.

This target equates to roughly 1% of bitcoin’s total supply, marking a significant escalation from its previous goal of 21,000 BTC by 2026.

The capital raise dubbed the “555 Million Plan,” involves the issuance of moving strike warrants, a novel financial instrument in Japan that adjusts the exercise price with market conditions.

This strategy is designed to optimize capital raising while minimizing shareholder dilution. The funds will primarily be used to purchase additional bitcoin, with a portion allocated to bond redemptions and income-generating strategies such as selling put options.

CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized the company’s commitment to bitcoin as a core treasury asset, posting on his X account,

Thrilled to announce Asia’s largest-ever equity raise to buy bitcoin — again! This time: $5.4 billion to accelerate our bitcoin strategy. Our new target: 210,000 BTC by 2027.

Metaplanet’s aggressive bitcoin acquisition strategy reflects a broader trend among corporations seeking to hedge against economic uncertainties and currency devaluation.

The company’s stock has seen a substantial increase, climbing 275% since early 2025 and delivering a 1619% return over the past year. With its current holdings of 8,888 BTC, Metaplanet ranks among the top corporate BTC holders globally.
