Metaplanet, a venture capital firm based in Japan, is planning a major increase in its Bitcoin
The company intends to grow its stash to 10,000 BTC in 2025, more than five times its current total of 1,762 BTC. These holdings, valued at $173.4 million, were acquired through 19 separate purchases in 2024.
Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet’s CEO, shared the firm’s goal in a January 5 post on X. He stated that the company plans to use effective financial strategies to achieve this target.

Gerovich also highlighted Metaplanet’s mission to promote Bitcoin adoption both in Japan and globally while expanding its role in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The firm is already recognized as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia and ranks 15th globally among publicly listed companies. Metaplanet’s plan is well-timed, as predictions from VanEck and Bitwise suggest Bitcoin could reach $180,000 to $200,000 in 2025.
Speaking at Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin New Year’s Eve event in Florida, Gerovich stated that if the US adopts Bitcoin as a reserve asset, other countries, including Japan, might follow suit. He said:
Japan often looks to the US for guidance, so a policy shift there could encourage similar actions across Asia.
In 2024, Bitcoin gained approximately 120%, and Metaplanet was among the companies that increased their holdings during this period. Its largest single purchase, made on December 23, added 619.7 BTC, accounting for more than 35% of its total holdings.
Recently, Tether added nearly 8,404.5 Bitcoin, worth $780 million, to its reserves. How much Bitcoin does Tether have in total? Read the full story.
