Key Points
- Metaplanet Inc’s market valuation has reached $1 billion, attributed to its Bitcoin strategy.
- The company currently holds about 1,762 Bitcoin, with plans to increase holdings to 10k by 2025.
Metaplanet Inc, a company thriving within the Bitcoin ecosystem, has achieved a significant milestone. The company’s market valuation has hit $1 billion. This growth, according to Simon Gerovich, CEO at Metaplanet, has been exponential since 2024.
The company’s Bitcoin reserves have continued to increase in value, driven by the growing demand for Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and fiat devaluation.
Bitcoin Holdings and Future Plans
At present, Metaplanet holds approximately 1,762 Bitcoin, valued at roughly $179 million. However, the company aims to expand its Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 by the end of 2025.
Gerovich has stated that Bitcoin is the ultimate treasury reserve asset for public companies. This is due to its potential to hedge against global inflation and market uncertainties.
Correlation Between Metaplanet Stock and Bitcoin Price
Since adopting its Bitcoin strategy, there has been a noticeable increase in correlation between Metaplanet’s stock market and Bitcoin. As Bitcoin’s price soared above $105k for the first time in 2025, Metaplanet’s stock also rallied, increasing by over 15 percent.
In the past year, Metaplanet’s stock market has rallied over 2,300 percent. This makes it one of the best-performing publicly traded companies in Japan.
The company’s stock market is expected to continue its upward trajectory as Bitcoin is increasingly adopted by nations as a hedge against national debt. Several states in the US are currently working on implementing a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
The upcoming US administration has pledged to tap into the Bitcoin market to reduce its $36 trillion national debt. As a result, Metaplanet’s stock market is well positioned to reclaim its all-time high, set in early 2003.
Following MicroStrategy’s Footsteps
Metaplanet has been following the lead of MicroStrategy Inc., which currently holds more than 2 percent of the total Bitcoin supply. Earlier this month, Metaplanet announced that Capital Group, a privately held fund manager with nearly $3 trillion in assets under management, had acquired around 5 percent of its stake.
It’s worth mentioning that Capital Group is a major investor in MicroStrategy and a significant supporter of the Bitcoin network. Metaplanet aims to leverage global capital markets to raise more funds and purchase as many Bitcoins as possible.
With the Bitcoin price expected to continue its upward trend, Metaplanet’s value is also expected to increase. Consequently, more companies are likely to adopt a similar Bitcoin strategy to increase value for their shareholders over time.
