Publicly listed Japanese firm Metaplanet has shaken up global financial markets with the announcement of a $5.4 billion capital raise aimed at accelerating its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. The company disclosed it has issued 555 million moving-strike warrants, the largest issuance of stock acquisition rights in Japanese history. The capital injection will be directed toward expanding Metaplanet’s already aggressive Bitcoin treasury strategy, modeled closely after MicroStrategy’s approach under Michael Saylor.

Since the beginning of 2025, Metaplanet’s stock has skyrocketed 275%, with an astounding 1619% return over the past year, as investors rally behind its Bitcoin-centric business model. CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed that over $650 million was raised in just the last 60 trading days, and the company has already generated a 189% yield on its BTC holdings.

Ambitious Bitcoin Targets: 210,000 BTC by 2027

Metaplanet currently holds 8,888 BTC, inching closer to its 10,000 BTC goal for 2025. However, with its latest fundraising round, the firm has upped the ante, setting a bold new target of 100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. If realized, Metaplanet would control 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply, placing it among the most influential institutional BTC holders globally—surpassing even Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc. in its current ranking.

This dramatic 21-fold increase in BTC acquisition targets reflects the firm’s deepening commitment to digital assets amid rising institutional interest in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.

With trading volumes expected to rise in U.S. markets as the day unfolds, analysts are closely monitoring Metaplanet’s MTPLF ticker for further momentum.
