Metaplanet is making big moves in the Bitcoin space – yes, again. The company just added another 150 BTC to its growing stash, spending about $12.6 million. This latest purchase brings its total holdings to 3,350 BTC as of March 24, 2025. So far this year, its Bitcoin strategy has delivered an impressive 68.3% yield.
With bold targets, rapid acquisitions, and even a high-profile new advisor, Metaplanet is making it clear that it’s playing for the long haul. Here’s a closer look at its latest moves and what they mean for the company’s future.
A Surge in Bitcoin Acquisitions
March has been a particularly active month for Metaplanet’s Bitcoin purchases. The company made several significant acquisitions:
- March 3 – 156 BTC
- March 5 – 497 BTC
- March 12 – 162 BTC
- March 18 – 150 BTC
This strategy follows a growing trend among corporations and institutional investors that are increasing their Bitcoin reserves as part of their financial strategies.
In the first 11 weeks of 2025 alone, Metaplanet has acquired 1,288 BTC, a much faster pace than in 2024. While it has not yet reached its ambitious target, the company continues to use various financial strategies to expand its Bitcoin reserves, a process that began with its first purchase in April 2024.
What is Metaplanet’s Goal?
Metaplanet has set ambitious goals, aiming to hold 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026. If successful, this would mean the company owns 1% of all Bitcoin ever created. Its stock price is currently trading at 4,895 JPY, up more than 3%.
Eric Trump Joins as Strategic Advisor
Metaplanet recently appointed Eric Trump to its Strategic Board of Advisors, a move that signals its determination to expand its Bitcoin holdings. CEO Simon Gerovich highlighted Trump’s expertise in real estate, finance, and brand development, emphasizing how his experience could benefit the company.
Eric Trump is also involved with World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by his brothers Donald Jr. and Barron Trump, aimed at promoting digital asset adoption. However, his strong connections to the Trump family and the Trump Organization have raised concerns about possible conflicts of interest, particularly as cryptocurrency regulations become a hot topic in U.S. politics.
With its Bitcoin stash growing fast and big names joining the team, Metaplanet seems to be going all in.
