MetaPlanet's Bitcoin holdings expanded 20 times in one year — achieving a leap to the 4th largest company in the world

MetaPlanet’s financial report announced on December 30th has become a hot topic. The company added 4,279 bitcoins in Q4 2025 (October 1 to December 31) for approximately 69.8 billion yen, bringing its total holdings to 35,102 bitcoins, with a cumulative purchase amount exceeding 559.7 billion yen.

Rapid Expansion of Holdings in Just One Year

What is remarkable is the speed of this growth. The holdings, which were 1,761 bitcoins at the end of December 2024, have expanded approximately 20 times in just 12 months. Considering that the current Bitcoin market price exceeds $95.29K (about $95,000), the company’s assets are in the trillions of yen, highlighting the boldness of its management decisions.

After three months of silence since the end of September, the announcement was made, but it is believed that purchases continued steadily during this period. The company has been strategically increasing its holdings by monitoring Bitcoin’s trend reversal beyond resistance bands and utilizing funds from institutional investors and credit facilities.

Two-Layered Funding Structure — Combining Equity and Borrowing

The funds for this purchase were raised through a ¥21.2 billion issuance of B-type preferred shares and approximately ¥43.7 billion in loans via Bitcoin-backed credit facilities. This multi-faceted funding scheme allows large-scale acquisitions without straining the company’s cash flow.

New Goal: “Cumulative 210,000 BTC by 2027”

Initially, CEO Simon Gerovich announced at the beginning of the year a target of “holding 10,000 BTC” and “ranking in the top 10 worldwide.” Now, the company’s Bitcoin holdings have surged to the 4th largest among listed companies, significantly surpassing the original goal.

In line with this, a new pledge has been set to acquire a total of 210,000 BTC by 2027. Given the current pace of holdings and market conditions, many believe this goal is quite achievable.

Bitcoin Income Business Also Performing Well

The company is also developing revenue-generating businesses utilizing Bitcoin derivatives, with Q4 sales expected to reach about ¥4.2 billion. The full-year forecast has been significantly revised upward from the initial estimate of ¥3 billion to approximately ¥8.6 billion. The profits from this business are used to fund additional long-term holdings, supporting sustained accumulation.

The announcement indicates that the company’s Bitcoin strategy is evolving from mere speculation to a comprehensive management approach that combines business revenue and capital procurement.
