Japan-based venture capital firm Metaplanet aims to increase its Bitcoin reserves fivefold by the end of 2025, targeting 10,000 BTC. The company cites analyst predictions of Bitcoin surpassing $200,000 as a key factor shaping its strategy. Currently holding 1,762 Bitcoin, Metaplanet values its holdings at $173.4 million, having made 19 separate acquisitions to date, demonstrating significant growth.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the 2025 target is not merely a financial move but also aims to promote the adoption of Bitcoin in Japan and globally. Gerovich emphasized the company's plan to expand its influence in Japan and contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem through this strategic growth initiative. Metaplanet is the largest institutional Bitcoin holder in Asia and ranks 15th globally among publicly traded companies. Analysts predict Bitcoin could exceed $200,000 by 2025, with expectations that the U.S. forming a strategic Bitcoin reserve could push prices even higher.
