Metaplanet, a Japan-listed company, has officially launched a massive expansion of its Bitcoin treasury. The company announced that its major shareholder, EVO Fund, exercised 540,000 Series-20 warrants. This led to the sale of 54 million new shares, resulting in an initial first-day earnings of approximately 515 million. To begin with, this marks the initial step of the larger 555 Million Plan. Furthermore, the company aims to issue up to 555 million shares in total.
Metaplanet Now Holds 11,111 BTC, Joins Crypto Giants
On June 23, 2025, Metaplanet had 600,714,340 issued shares, of which 25,540 were treasury shares. After the warrant exercise of June 24, the company had increased the number of issued shares to 654,714,340. The mass share issuance is one of the most important elements of the approach to shift towards the new environment of the world of digital assets after its experience in the hospitality sphere.
Metaplanet started as a hotel and tourism company but has currently shifted to the objective of making Bitcoin its main business. This is a bold and strategic transformation. The company is shifting to digital assets to become a leading corporate Bitcoin holder.
Metaplanet, with 11,111 BTC in its treasury already, is in the catch-up position between the giants, such as Tesla and Strategy.
The upper capital of 515 million dollars generated with the help of EVO Fund will be spent on acquiring even more Bitcoin. This indicates how the firm is keen to think that Bitcoin has a bright future as an investment asset store. It goes congruent with the increasing inclination by institutions to stake digital properties as a balance sheet item.
Metaplanet Targets 30,000 BTC by End of 2025
Besides, Metaplanet intends to own 30,000 BTC by December 2025. If the current pace holds up, then it plans to have 100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. This would result in Metaplanet being ranked as one of the biggest companies in the world in terms of its holding of Bitcoins. The management of the company considers this direction as the one that will provide long-term advantages and financial stability in a digital-first world.
In addition, Metaplanet plans to invest $5 billion into its U.S. subsidiary. This is a strategic action that will help it extend worldwide and open more of its destinations in the foreign markets. The Tokyo-based firm shares declined by a maximum of 5% even after the firm decided to increase the raise. However, the company does not forget about its long-term goals.
The change of strategy might prompt other Japanese businesses to investigate Bitcoin and other digital currencies. This company is already known as Asia Strategy because it was among the pioneers to do so in the Asian continent. This increase in influence in the area of crypto finance could be a trend that corporate treasuries throughout the area become accustomed to.
Finally, the treasury of Bitcoin at Metaplanet, amounting to 515 million dollars, indicates the strong commitment of the company to digitalization. The company has set the scene with its ambitious pockets and plans to become a world leader in Bitcoin-based finance.
