Metaplanet has made the audacious move of announcing a $5.4 billion equity raise to gobble up a vast fortune of Bitcoin, with eyes set on 210,000 BTC by 2027. Bold? You bet.
The company isn’t just aiming for a big chunk—oh no, it’s targeting a full 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply. The goal? To become Asia’s undisputed Bitcoin kingpin. Because why settle for less when you can aim for the moon?
Asia’s Ultimate Bitcoin Power Play
In a move that screams “big league,” Metaplanet laid out its grand plan: raise a jaw-dropping $5.4 billion (or ¥770 billion, for those keeping score in yen), leveraging public equity, innovative financing, and all sorts of securities offerings. If it pulls this off, it’ll be the biggest public equity raise in Asia’s history. Bet they’ll be handing out “we did it first” trophies.
How? Well, by putting its “BTC Yield” metric to work and creating value for shareholders—because, of course, it’s not all about the Bitcoin, it’s about *how* you make it work. Genius move, right?
Standing tall as Asia’s most audacious Bitcoin acquisition plan, Metaplanet’s CEO took to X (formerly Twitter, because why not) to detail the glorious journey ahead. And don’t think for a second they’re just going to sit back and relax; these targets are ambitious. Strap in, folks, this could get wild.
“Thrilled to announce Asia’s largest-ever equity raise to buy Bitcoin — again! This time: $5.4 billion to accelerate our Bitcoin strategy. Our new target: 210,000 BTC by 2027,” CEO Simon Gerovich gleefully tweeted. Because, of course, why *not* go bigger?
By the end of 2026, Metaplanet expects to hold a cool 100,000 BTC, only to take it to an astounding 210,000 BTC by 2027. That, my friends, is 1% of Bitcoin’s grand supply cap of 21 million. A mere 1%. Just a *small* slice of the entire pie, right?
This move, marked by sheer audacity, is a bold jab at other public firms dabbling in Bitcoin. Up until now, North American and European giants have dominated the crypto game, but it looks like Metaplanet has plans to throw down the gauntlet. Watch out, world!
Should Metaplanet hit its target, it will join the ranks of the world’s top companies with massive Bitcoin reserves. Oh, and did we mention it could draw in institutional investors? No biggie—just a potential game-changer for crypto adoption by major public firms.
And here’s the kicker: Metaplanet just expanded its Bitcoin stash to 8,888 BTC after buying an additional 1,088 BTC. With this, it’s now the 10th-largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder. Oh, and did we mention the stock price? It surged to a three-month high in May, just after the Bitcoin acquisition was revealed. Seems like people are paying attention.
