Metaplanet, a Japan-based venture capital firm, aims to increase its Bitcoin holdings from 1,762 BTC to 10,000 BTC by 2025, reflecting a 467% growth. The company believes a forthcoming bull run could elevate Bitcoin prices above $200,000 this year. The firm has followed in the footsteps of MicroStrategy by making significant Bitcoin purchases in 2024. CEO Simon Gerovich highlighted the goal of utilizing the best capital market tools to achieve its target, while also promoting Bitcoin adoption in Japan and globally. Metaplanet is currently the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia and ranks 15th among publicly listed companies for Bitcoin holdings. Gerovich emphasized that a potential Bitcoin reserve by the US could inspire global movements towards cryptocurrency adoption. The firm plans to leverage various financial instruments to facilitate this increase in holdings. After a successful year in which Bitcoin gained approximately 120%, Metaplanet looks optimistic about its financial forecasts for the upcoming fiscal year.
