Metaplanet sets 10,000 BTC target for 2025

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is aiming to expand its Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, according to CEO Simon Gerovich.

In a recent announcement, Gerovich detailed the company’s strategic goals, emphasising transparency, shareholder engagement, and partnerships to promote Bitcoin adoption globally.

“To achieve the 10k BTC milestone, we will use accretive capital market tools and focus on delivering value for shareholders,” Gerovich stated.

The company also plans to deepen its influence in Japan and the wider Bitcoin ecosystem, leveraging partnerships to drive adoption both locally and internationally.

Reflecting on 2024, Gerovich described the year as "transformational," marked by record-breaking achievements and the expansion of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury.

“This year, we’re laser-focused on execution and driving even greater value for our shareholders,” he added.

In late December, Metaplanet made its largest Bitcoin purchase, acquiring 619.7 BTC worth approximately $60.6 million, pushing its total holdings to 1,761 BTC.

The company now ranks 15th among corporate Bitcoin holders, behind Semler Scientific and Exodus.

Gerovich also shared his perspective on global Bitcoin adoption, suggesting that if the United States adopts Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, it could trigger a domino effect worldwide.

He highlighted Japan as a likely follower, noting the country's tendency to look to the U.S. for guidance.

These comments were made during Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin New Year’s Eve party, where discussions focused on Bitcoin’s growing role in global economic strategies.

Industry experts predict that 2025 may mark the "arrival of corporates," as more companies adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

With ambitious plans, Metaplanet aims to strengthen its position in this evolving landscape.

At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin (BTC) price was $102,125.
