Tokyo-listed investment firm Metaplanet has announced one of the most aggressive Bitcoin treasury strategies on record.

The company aims to raise approximately $5.4 billion through a substantial equity issuance to acquire a staggering 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027—a move that would put it within reach of holding 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

Already a major player in the space, Metaplanet recently added 1,088 BTC, bringing its holdings to around 8,888. The new capital raise, structured as a 555-million share offering via stock acquisition rights, marks Asia’s largest-ever equity raise tied to Bitcoin acquisition. Funds generated will be deployed gradually to minimize market impact while maximizing capital efficiency and shareholder value.

From its origins as a hotel-technology firm, Metaplanet pivoted toward a Bitcoin-first treasury model in 2024, inspired by corporate peers like MicroStrategy. The company has since proven the strategy’s appeal: its stock surged 19% following its first acquisition, with total shareholder returns skyrocketing over 340% year-to-date. Metaplanet’s CEO described this latest funding round as “Asia’s most significant equity raise for Bitcoin”—a testament to both market confidence and strategic ambition.

Investors have responded positively: shares climbed more than 12% in the latest trading session, driven by expectations that Metaplanet will secure a spot among the world’s top corporate Bitcoin holders.

Key to this strategy is Metaplanet’s focus on capital discipline. The raising mechanism employs moving-strike warrants priced at a premium, coupled with non-dilutive debt structures like zero-coupon bonds. These features aim to bolster BTC holdings without excessively diluting existing shareholders.

If fully realized, the plan will represent a dramatic escalation—from around 8,900 BTC now to 100,000 by 2026 and 210,000 by 2027. That would position Metaplanet just behind MicroStrategy in corporate Bitcoin reserve rankings, offering investors a unique avenue into digital asset exposure via equity.

For financial brokers, Metaplanet’s move signals that Bitcoin has matured beyond niche speculation. It’s becoming a cornerstone of corporate reserve management, offering diversification, inflation protection, and significant upside potential. Brokers advising on asset allocation may find increasing client interest in crypto-linked stocks, as companies like Metaplanet trailblaze a new category of institutional adoption.
