Japan’s Metaplanet wants to own 210,000 BTC by 2027

Japanese Bitcoin Treasury firm Metaplanet aims to own at least 210,000 BTC in the next two years, a meteoric leap from its current 8,888 BTC holdings.

In a recent post published on June 6, the Japanese investment firm unveiled its latest plan to acquire more BTC (BTC) for its Saylor-inspired Bitcoin strategy. Now, the Tokyo-based company is aiming to accumulate at least 210,000 BTC by 2027 and to raise its yearly target for 2026 from just 21,000 BTC to 100,000 BTC.

According to the company’s slide deck for its “2025-2027 Bitcoin plan,” it plans to purchase even more Bitcoin than it previously had before. By the end of 2025, it plans to boost its holdings by over two-fold from 8,888 BTC to 30,000 BTC.

To achieve this goal, the company declared that it would issue 555 million shares in a move designed to raise enough capital to buy more Bitcoin. However, the firm has also noted that the projected targets are still subject to change depending on market conditions.

At press time, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings sit at 8,888 BTC or equal to more than $921.4 million. It recently spent $117.7 million of its corporate funds to buy 1,088 BTC at an average price of $108,209 on June 2.

If Metaplanet intends to purchase enough Bitcoin to reach 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, then the firm will need to purchase an additional 21,112 BTC within the next six months. This means that the firm would need to invest another $2.18 billion of its corporate funds to reach the 30,000 BTC goal.

If the firm does manage to own 210,000 BTC by the time 2027 rolls around, then it would own 1% out of the total existing Bitcoin supply in the world.

For context, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder is Michael Saylor’s Strategy has a total of 580,250 BTC in its current holdings, owning around 2.7% of the total Bitcoin supply. Many investors have even started calling Metaplanet “Asian Strategy” as it was one of the first companies in the region to start following Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury plan.

Metaplanet started acquiring BTC back in May 2024 in an attempt to combat the weakening yen and other economic challenges plaguing Japan at the time.
