As a strategy, Metaplanet follows the business trend that involves companies holding Bitcoin assets. The number of public companies that recognize Bitcoin as their essential strategic business reserve continues to increase. The FASB and other regulatory agencies now permit public companies to determine the value of their Bitcoin holdings through fair market evaluation, thus inducing them to embrace Bitcoin accumulation.
A Strategic Push Amid Bitcoin’s Price Surge
On April 21 of 2025, Bitcoin attained a 2.5% market value increase, resulting in a value of $87,279. Metaplanet faced no obstacles in acquiring the company thanks to institutional investor support generated by positive market conditions. The company launched its Bitcoin buying program in April 2024 as it executed new acquisitions during all market conditions.
Metaplanet spent $85,386 on average for every Bitcoin asset they acquired. The firm plans to purchase 21,000 BTC before 2026, while this acquisition will account for 1% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply. The extensive target reflects Metaplanet’s full commitment to cryptocurrency expansion efforts.
The group is working on the development of novel fundraising strategies that will assist it in acquiring Bitcoin funds. The financing operation that Metaplanet carried out in April 2025 consisted of the issuance of zero-coupon bonds denominated in United States dollars, with a total value of ten million dollars. This financial method enables the company to maximize Bitcoin market efficiency and establishes affordable Bitcoin market connectivity worldwide.
Metaplanet received positive reactions from the market after implementing its strategic business strategies.

Metaplanet’s Role in Corporate Bitcoin Adoption
Metaplanet implements Bitcoin investment approaches that replicate the methods utilized by public organizations in their business operations. The company MicroStrategy leads the way in corporate Bitcoin investment due to its ownership of 531,644 BTC, as reported in April 2025. The achievements of MicroStrategy established an operational model that Metaplanet and other companies used to design equivalent treasury strategies.
Multiple business levels in corporate markets continue to introduce Bitcoin into their operational systems. Public firms hold 688,000 BTC at the moment of the Bitwise survey in April 2025, comprising 3.28% of Bitcoin’s overall supply. The institutional acceptance of Bitcoin usage as both inflation protection and currency diversification continues to rise in a continuous manner.
Metaplanet’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, predicts Bitcoin will expand substantially in the forthcoming years.

The company plans to expand its international presence and is evaluating launching on U.S. stock markets.
