Japanese investor Metaplanet wants to have 100,000 Bitcoin at the end of 2026

The Japanese company Metaplanet has announced that it wants to expand its Bitcoin ownership considerably in the coming period. The new shares will issue for the purchase of these bitcoins.

The Japanese investment company Metaplanet has announced ambitious plans to substantially expand its Bitcoin ownership. The company, which was previously known as a traditional investment company, has since transformed itself into a company with a clear focus on Bitcoin as a strategic core possession. The new objective: the acquisition of no less than 100,000 BTC towards the end of 2026.

Metaplanet currently has 8,888 BTC, after it added 1,088 new Bitcoins to its balance at the beginning of June. To achieve the set goal, the company will have to purchase more than 91,000 BTC in the next year and a half. Against the current Bitcoin Koers It is an investment of many billions of dollars. The company indicates that they largely finance these purchases through a new stock issue.

Largest stock-warrant deal in Japan

Metaplanet recently announced that he would spend 555 million shares via so -called “Moving Strike Warrants”, in which the exercise price moves with the market. The shares are sold to EVO Fund, an investment fund from the Caaiman Islands that was previously also involved in Metaplanet financing rounds. With this share issue, the company hopes to raise $ 5.3 billion.

According to Metaplanet, it concerns the largest stock-warrant issue ever in Japan. The majority of the resources retrieved – an estimated 96% – will be used immediately for the purchase of Bitcoin. A smaller part is reserved for bond repayments and risk management strategies such as selling well options.

The new “555 million” strategy is a follow-up to the earlier “21 million plan” with which the company has already raised $ 600 million this year. Then the goal was to arrest 21,000 BTC. In the meantime, this objective has been drastically increased to 100,000 BTC by 2026, and even more than 210,000 BTC by 2027. That would bring Metaplanet into the so -called “1% Club” – a select group of entities that own at least 1% of the total bitcoin stock of 21 million.

Bitcoin as a strategic reserve activity

According to CEO Simon Gerovich, the shift towards a Bitcoin-driven balance strategy is inspired by structural changes in the global economy. “We are in a transition phase in which the traditional economic model of capital and work is taking place for a new structure that revolves around information technology,” said Gerovich.

He also points to increasing geopolitical tensions, the rising government debts worldwide and the decreasing trust in traditional ‘safe’ assets such as long -term government bonds. In this climate, Metaplanet sees Bitcoin as a unique possession: scarce, easy to transfer and not dependent on intermediaries.

The weak Japanese yen and the long -term negative interest rate policy of the Bank of Japan also play a role in the strategic choice for Bitcoin. The digital currency is seen by Metaplanet as an effective cover instrument against these domestic economic challenges.

Stock price

The stock price of Metaplanet has benefited greatly from the Bitcoin strategy. Since the beginning of the year, the share price has risen by more than 275%. Nevertheless, the share closed 1.6% lower last Friday after the announcement of the new stock issue – possibly due to concerns about dilution of the existing share capital.

Nevertheless, the company is sticking to its long -term vision: becoming a dominant player in the world of bitcoin reserves. With the new capital injection and the aggressive purchase plan, Metaplanet positions itself as one of the most pronounced institutional advocates of Bitcoin in the world.
