Metaplanet godkjenner ambisiøs plan: 210 000 Bitcoin innen 2027 – 1 % av det totale tilbudet

Japanese company Metaplanet, which has been actively buying Bitcoin throughout 2025, has received shareholder approval for a large-scale cryptocurrency accumulation strategy. According to the plan, the company intends to acquire 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, representing approximately 1% of Bitcoin's total supply (21 million coins). As of September 2025, Metaplanet already holds about 20,000 BTC, having purchased 1,009 BTC for $112 million that month. This makes it one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in Japan.

The funding plan involves raising capital through the stock market. The company will double the issuance of Class A and B shares, with floating interest rates, quarterly dividends, and redemption options for investors. Additionally, Class B shares will be available to overseas institutional investors, facilitating trading for international funds. These measures will reduce capital and reserves to support dividends and share buybacks.

Metaplanet's Strategy Director Dylan LeClair commented on this on the X platform:

"The extraordinary shareholder meeting voted in favor of several stock-related proposals that will help the company raise money for further Bitcoin purchases." He added that this "will allow Metaplanet to use financial instruments to buy more Bitcoin without immediate dilution of existing shareholders' shares."

Throughout 2025, Metaplanet aggressively accumulated Bitcoin, starting in March with the purchase of 150 BTC, and reaching 4,525 BTC by mid-April. However, from October 1, the company paused purchases, likely due to market conditions and a discount to net asset value (MNAV). Now, following the plan's approval, purchases are expected to resume, which could boost demand for Bitcoin amid overall market uncertainty.

This news comes amid broader interest from Japanese companies in Bitcoin as a treasury asset. Despite the absence of spot Bitcoin ETFs in Japan, Metaplanet is becoming an indirect avenue for local investors into cryptocurrency. Experts note that such a strategy focuses on long-term accumulation, regardless of short-term price fluctuations, which as of December 25, 2025, stands at about $87,649 per BTC.

Some analysts warn of risks associated with volatility, but overall, it is seen as a signal of strong institutional confidence in Bitcoin.
