Bitcoin Target Locked: Metaplanet Eyes 10,000 BTC This Year

by

Metaplanet ushers in the new year with a bullish sentiment on Bitcoin and blockchain technology.

Last year towards the end, a Japanese firm made news by disclosing its acquisition of ¥1 billion in Bitcoins. Now, it’s back in the spotlight as it reveals its intention to boost its Bitcoin holdings up to 10,000 coins.

Metaplanet is choosing to heavily invest in the leading global digital currency at a time when political and economic circumstances seem advantageous. Experts forecast that Bitcoin’s value could potentially reach $200,000 in the near future.

At present, Metaplanet holds approximately 1,762 Bitcoins, valued at around $173.4 million, placing it among the leading companies that have adopted MicroStrategy’s strategy for Bitcoin investment.

CEO Announces Target Of 10k Bitcoins

CEO Simon Gerovich recently revealed the company’s new investment strategy in a New Year message to shareholders. On January 5th, he acknowledged the company’s impressive performance through a social media post, highlighting its growth in Bitcoin holdings and position as the largest regional holder of digital assets. In his detailed statement, Gerovich emphasized the company’s dedication to this asset class and increasing shareholder value.

2025 New Year Greetings to Our Esteemed Stockholders! I’m brimming with anticipation about the prospects for Metaplanet in the year to come. The previous year was a period of transformation, marked by record-breaking achievements, an enlargement of our Bitcoin reserves, and further consolidation of our status as Asia’s foremost Bitcoin Treasury.

This year, Gerovick revealed at least four objectives for Metaplanet. The main goal is to increase their BTC holdings up to 10,000 Bitcoins. Furthermore, Metaplanet aims to enhance transparency, capitalize on partnerships to foster Bitcoin adoption, and explore creative avenues to strengthen their presence in the Bitcoin and blockchain industry by pursuing innovative projects.

Investing Plans Come At A Time Of Favorable Conditions

The Japanese firm is making bold advances in the cryptocurrency sector, which coincides with advantageous market trends and improved pricing possibilities. Experts like Bitwise and VanEck forecast that Bitcoin could trade between $180,000 and $200,000 this year. They suggest that these high price levels might be achievable if the U.S. government endorses the proposal for a strategic digital asset reserve.

Other financial experts are anticipating more daring price projections for Bitcoin and possibly superior returns from alternative cryptocurrencies due to the possibility of another Trump term in office.

As suggested by Gerovich, if the U.S. decides to establish strategic reserves for Bitcoin, it could inspire other nations to do the same. Notably, Japan is among the first to follow this trend, with other Asian countries expected to adopt a similar approach.

Starting A Movement

In that very post, Gerovich refers to the company’s endeavor as a “momentum” rooted in its dedication to quality. He intrigues his audience by hinting that 2025 could mark another groundbreaking year for Metaplanet, brimming with innovation, advancement, and triumph.

On the world stage, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin assets rank as the largest among Asian public companies, and they sit comfortably at the 15th position globally. It was just a year ago that Metaplanet embarked on its Bitcoin investment journey, an endeavor sparked by Bitcoin’s significant surge in value, largely attributed to increased institutional adoption.
