April Accumulation Signals Strong Momentum
Tokyo-based Metaplanet Inc. has reached a new milestone in its aggressive digital asset strategy, now holding over 5,000 Bitcoin following a flurry of acquisitions in April. The company’s latest purchase—145 BTC at an average of $93,327 per coin—added approximately $13.6 million to its cryptocurrency portfolio, which is now valued at around $428 million.
The April activity alone added more than 1,650 BTC through five separate transactions, representing nearly $153 million in Bitcoin acquisitions. This momentum places Metaplanet firmly among the top publicly listed Bitcoin-holding companies globally, according to independent tracking data.
Strategic Vision Targets 21,000 BTC
The firm’s broader objective, dubbed the “21 Million Plan,” outlines an ambition to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and double that total by 2026. This roadmap is backed by a $745 million capital injection secured in 2024—one of the largest such raises in Asia—executed through an innovative mechanism involving zero-discount moving strike warrants.
This financial structure allows the company to scale its crypto exposure incrementally, minimizing shareholder dilution while optimizing market entry timing. CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized the symbolic and strategic value of reaching 5,000 BTC, calling it a significant step toward positioning Japan as a leader in the global Bitcoin ecosystem.
As institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to grow worldwide, Metaplanet’s disciplined, capital-backed strategy may serve as a benchmark for how traditional firms can responsibly and effectively navigate the digital asset space.
