Japanese company Metaplanet Inc achieves $1 billion market valuation, driven by its Bitcoin treasury strategy and plans to expand holdings to 10,000 BTC by 2025.
Metaplanet Inc, a fast-growing company through the Bitcoin BTC $85 723 24h volatility: 4.2% Market cap: $1.71 T Vol. 24h: $48.38 B ecosystem, has reached a major milestone of $1 billion market valuation. According to Simon Gerovich, CEO at Metaplanet, the company’s valuation has continued with exponential growth registered in 2024 since the calendar flipped to reach and surpass a total valuation of $1 billion.
With the ever rising demand for Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and fiat devaluation, the company’s BTC trove has continued to gain more value.
As Coinspeaker previously reported, Metaplanet currently holds about 1,762 Bitcoin, worth about $179 million at the time of this writing. However, the company has set a target of increasing its Bitcoin holdings to 10k by the end of 2025.
Gerovich highlighted that BTC is the ultimate treasury reserve asset for public companies seeking to hedge against global inflation and market uncertainties.
Metaplanet Stock In Synch With Bitcoin Price Action
Since adopting the Bitcoin strategy, Metaplanet’s stock market has seen a notable increase in correlation with the flagship coin. As Bitcoin price rallied above $105k for the first time in 2025, ahead of the 2nd inauguration of pro-crypto US President-elect Donald Trump, Metaplanet’s stock rallied over 15 percent to trade about ¥4,235 on Friday.
In the past year, Metaplanet’s stock market rallied over 2,300 percent, thus outshining all other publicly traded companies in Japan.
The company’s stock market is expected to rally exponentially over the years as Bitcoin is adopted by nation-states as a hedge against national debt. Already, several states in the United States are working on implementing a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
The upcoming Trump administration has promised to tap into the Bitcoin market to reduce its $36 trillion national debt in the coming years. Consequently, Metaplanet’s stock market is well positioned to reclaim its all-time high, which is more than 20x and was set in early 2003.
Bigger Picture
Metaplanet has been following in the footsteps of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which currently holds more than 2 percent of the total Bitcoin supply. Earlier this month, Metaplanet announced that Capital Group, a privately held fund manager with nearly $3 trillion in assets under management, had acquired around 5 percent of its stake.
Worth noting that Capital Group is a major investor in MicroStrategy, thus a huge supporter for the Bitcoin network indirectly. Metaplanet is keen to leverage global capital markets to raise more funds and purchase as many BTCs as possible.
With Bitcoin price expected to rally exponentially in the coming months, Metaplanet’s value will gain in tandem. Consequently, more companies are likely to adopt the Bitcoin strategy to help their shareholders gain more value over time.
