Metaplanet Eyes Bigger Long-Term BTC Holdings Target

Metaplanet has doubled its previous long-term target for Bitcoin acquisition in 2025. Earlier this year, the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Simon Gerovich, disclosed that his company plans to buy 10,000 BTC before this year ends.

The target was smashed in record time, and Metaplanet now aims to purchase 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. While these targets seem ambitious, Metaplanet has shown consistency in Bitcoin investments, making the target feasible. The company maintained that its interest in BTC stems from the token’s long-term value and potential to shield against inflation risks.

Metaplanet’s Bond Redemptions

Since July, Metaplanet has been making efforts to redeem its $204.18 million (JPY 30 billion ) bond debt issued to EVO FUND at the end of June 2025. The company repaid $40.8 million on July 4 and another $45.94 million on July 14. Subsequently, it redeemed $15.31 million, $20.42 million, and another $20.42 million between August 25 and 27.

The company added:

“Both redemptions were carried out in accordance with the bond terms and funded using proceeds from the exercise of the 20th through 22nd Series of Stock Acquisition Rights, as disclosed in the Notice Regarding Change in Use of Proceeds.”

 Aside from redemptions, Metaplanet also recorded large volumes of share exercises tied to its 20th Series of Stock Acquisition Rights. Investors exercised 9 million shares each on July 10 and July 14. Overall, Metaplanet issued over 88 million new shares in multiple batches between July and August 2025.
