Metaplanet's stock price surged by 24% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on June 16th, 2025, reaching 1,896 JPY per share. This dramatic increase followed the company's announcement that it had accumulated 10,000 Bitcoin, exceeding its initial year-end target within the first six months. The remarkable achievement represents a significant milestone in Metaplanet's ambitious cryptocurrency acquisition strategy.
This impressive feat translates to a staggering 425% year-to-date return for Metaplanet's stock, a testament to the market's positive reaction to the company's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. Analysts are now predicting a fivefold increase in the value of MTPLF, the US-listed entity, fueled by this aggressive strategy and the company's revised, even more ambitious, long-term goals.
Metaplanet's recent acquisition of 1,112 Bitcoin, costing approximately $117.2 million at an average price of $105,435 per Bitcoin, propelled the company to its 10,000 Bitcoin milestone. The total investment in Bitcoin currently stands at $947 million, resulting in a considerable 266.1% year-to-date return on this investment alone. The company funded this purchase through the issuance of $210 million in 0% ordinary bonds.
The Japanese firm has significantly increased its Bitcoin acquisition ambitions. Having initially aimed for 10,000 Bitcoin by year-end, Metaplanet has now set a new goal of acquiring 30,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025 and an astounding 210,000 Bitcoin (1% of the total Bitcoin supply) by 2027. This aggressive plan followed a $5.4 billion fundraising round announced the previous week, showcasing the company's considerable financial strength and its unwavering commitment to its Bitcoin strategy. Long-term investor returns remain to be seen, however, the current trajectory suggests potentially high returns. This information was compiled from various internet sources.
