Japanese company Metaplanet seeks to acquire 1% of the entire Bitcoin supply

Metaplanet is aggressively expanding its Bitcoin assets through an unconventional $5.4 billion capital increase, positioning itself as the leading BTC proxy in Asia.

The Japanese firm plans to issue 555 million shares through a market-oriented offering – at a premium – to finance its expansion without diluting shareholders.

On June 2, the company added 1,088 BTC to its reserves, bringing its total to 8,888 BTC. This follows a 50 billion yen bond sale in May, reflecting a rapid shift in focus towards Bitcoin accumulation. All purchases were financed through structured debt and equity, rather than direct share dilution.

Metaplanet tracks its performance through a special metric called “BTC yield,” which has grown by over 225% since the beginning of the year. The firm now aims to reach 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and own 210,000 BTC — 1% of the total supply — by 2027.

With Japanese cryptocurrency regulations restricting direct access to Bitcoin, Metaplanet offers an alternative to the stock market. Its unique model combines equity funding and exposure to BTC, making it one of the most traded and fastest growing stocks in the country.

By using the traditional financial system to build a cryptocurrency-based balance sheet, Metaplanet creates a new hybrid model that allows both retail and institutional investors to gain indirect exposure to Bitcoin while bypassing the regulatory bureaucracy typical of cryptocurrencies in Japan
