Metaplanet hits its 2025 Bitcoin goal six months ahead of schedule with 10,000 BTC.
Shares surge 26% after Metaplanet’s $117.2 million Bitcoin acquisition is announced.
Company plans to use $5.34 billion from MS warrants to expand Bitcoin holdings to 21,000 BTC by 2026.

Japanese firm Metaplanet has caught market attention after announcing it reached its 2025 Bitcoin target ahead of schedule. The company recently acquired 10,000 BTC, which was a milestone previously expected to be reached towards the end of the year.

A post on X shows that Metaplanet has just purchased 1,112 Bitcoin, which cost approximately 117.2 million. The most recent transaction valued the average price per coin at about 105,435 dollars.

In the wake of this announcement, the stock of the firm (MTPLF) rose by 26 percent, closing at 1,504 yen and reaching 1,896 yen. Such a jump indicates intense native investor confidence in the treasury route centred on Bitcoin that Metaplanet has employed.

Metaplanet also had a 266.1 percent Bitcoin yield year-to-date. This has positioned the firm way beyond its stated growth plan.

Michael Saylor, a Strategy execution Chairman and a prominent Bitcoin advocate, responded to it with a congratulatory message. He tweeted that he was grateful to Simon Gerovich (the CEO) and the company’s shareholders in general for their quick achievement.

Massive Capital Raise Sets Stage for Larger Bitcoin Holdings

Metaplanet previously announced that a new capital issue, comprising 555 million MS warrants, would be created. This initiative is set to raise about 770.9 billion Yen or about 5.34 billion dollars.

The company has stated that proceeds will all be used to add more Bitcoin. This issuance is said to be the largest stock acquisition rights issuance in the Japanese Capital market.

メタプラネット、5億5500万株のMSワラント発行を発表。想定調達額は約7,709億円（新株予約権の前払金含む）で、全額を追加のビットコイン購入に充当予定。日本資本市場史上最大の新株予約権発行であり、市場価格を上回る行使価額でのMSワラントは国内初。 pic.twitter.com/Z6qz3mD2n3

It was also the first time such a warrant in Japan was set at a price higher than the market price. The move indicates that management has significant institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value and future performance.

Metaplanet will purchase 21,000 BTC of Bitcoins by the end of 2026. This figure is an analogue of the Bitcoin network’s 21 million fixed supply limit.

In another tweet, Saylor suggested that Strategy might make a new purchase of Bitcoin. As he mentions in his post, these purchases are frequently revealed at the beginning of every week.

Metaplanet’s early completion of its 2025 target has strengthened its position among Bitcoin-focused firms. The company’s fast build-up approach remains the fuse behind investor interests and market responses.
