Japanese Firm Aims to Hold 210,000 BTC by 2027 via U.S. Subsidiary Expansion
Metaplanet (3350), the Tokyo-listed company best known for pioneering corporate bitcoin treasuries in Asia, has approved a massive $5 billion capital injection into its newly formed U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury Corp, based in Florida. The goal? To aggressively scale its Bitcoin acquisition strategy over the next 30 months.
**“Our target is to accumulate 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027,” the firm stated in a corporate release._
This strategic expansion leverages U.S. capital markets and financial infrastructure to support high-efficiency, large-scale BTC acquisitions under Metaplanet’s previously announced “555 Million Plan.”
What’s Driving the Move?
- $5B allocation approved by Metaplanet’s board on June 24.
- Funds sourced via stock acquisition rights (Series 20 to 22).
- 100% of the proceeds will be used to purchase additional Bitcoin.
- The Florida-based subsidiary was officially established on May 1.
- Metaplanet already holds 11,111 BTC, ranking 8th among public companies.
The company emphasizes this move is designed for long-term strategic growth, not short-term speculation. According to their statement, there will be minimal impact on fiscal 2025 earnings, though material developments will be disclosed promptly.
Global Bitcoin Treasury Leadership
This initiative positions Metaplanet alongside global Bitcoin-heavyweight corporates like:
- MicroStrategy – 592,345 BTC
- Trump Media – Planning to buy $2.5B worth
- ProCap Financial – $1B BTC target
- Grant Cardone Companies – Recently acquired 1,000 BTC
Metaplanet’s U.S. subsidiary will function as a specialized digital treasury vehicle, aiming to maximize yield efficiency and support shareholder value via Bitcoin’s long-term appreciation.
Market Reaction
Despite the bullish strategy, Metaplanet shares closed 7% lower on Tuesday — potentially reflecting short-term dilution concerns or broader market volatility.
Still, analysts say the move underscores a growing trend: corporations are embracing Bitcoin as a core treasury asset, not merely an alternative investment.
