Metaplanet Inc, a rapidly expanding entity within the Bitcoin ecosystem, has hit a significant milestone by achieving a market capitalization of $1 billion. As per Simon Gerovich, CEO at Metaplanet, this impressive valuation has seen continuous exponential growth since 2024, surpassing the $1 billion mark after turning over the new year.
Here’s the breakdown for those interested in details:
– Bitcoin (BTC): $104
– 24h volatility: 4.2%
– Market cap: $2.07 trillion
– 24h volume: $66.76 billion
As more people are turning to Bitcoin as a safeguard against inflation and currency depreciation, the worth of the company’s Bitcoin reserves is increasingly appreciating.
According to an earlier report by Coinspeaker, Metaplanet currently owns approximately 1,762 Bitcoins, which equates to around $179 million at present. Yet, the company aims to significantly boost this figure, aiming to hold a total of 10,000 Bitcoins by the year 2025’s end.
As an analyst, I’ve observed that Bitcoin (BTC) serves as a prime choice for treasury reserves among public companies aiming to shield themselves from global inflation and market fluctuations.
Metaplanet Stock In Synch With Bitcoin Price Action
After implementing a Bitcoin-focused approach, there has been a significant rise in the connection between Metaplanet’s stock market performance and the value of Bitcoin. When Bitcoin surpassed $105k for the first time in 2025, prior to the second inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump who is pro-crypto, Metaplanet’s stock also experienced a surge of over 15 percent, trading around ¥4,235 on Friday.
Over the past year, Metaplanet’s stock market performance surpassed every other publicly-traded company in Japan, skyrocketing a staggering 2,300%!
Over time, it’s predicted that the value of the company’s stocks could significantly increase at an extremely fast pace, given that more nations start adopting Bitcoin as a safeguard against their national debts. In fact, some U.S. states are actively exploring the idea of establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
In the near future, the Trump administration plans to utilize the Bitcoin market as a strategy for decreasing the nation’s massive $36 trillion debt. This move could potentially boost Metaplanet’s stock market performance, allowing it to reestablish its record-breaking high that was set in early 2003, more than 20 times over.
Bigger Picture
Metaplanet, similar to MicroStrategy Inc., has been treading a path that holds over 2% of the entire Bitcoin stockpile. Notably, Capital Group, a prominent fund manager with approximately $3 trillion in managed assets, recently obtained about 5% of Metaplanet’s shares.
It’s important to mention that Capital Group plays a significant role as an investor in MicroStrategy, thereby lending strong support to the Bitcoin network indirectly. On the other hand, Metaplanet is looking to tap into international financial markets for additional funding, with the aim of acquiring large amounts of Bitcoins.
As I eagerly anticipate Bitcoin’s exponential growth in the upcoming months, I can’t help but feel optimistic about Metaplanet’s value rising along with it. This surge could potentially inspire more companies to embrace a Bitcoin-like strategy, aiming to provide long-term value for their shareholders by following this trend.
