Metaplanet on Friday announced a $5.4 billion equity raise to significantly expand its Bitcoin holdings, with a target of 210,000 BTC by 2027.
The company aims to become Asia’s leading public holder of Bitcoin, targeting 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Asia’s Biggest Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
In its official presentation, Metaplanet details strategic steps to acquire 210,000 BTC by 2027. The company plans to raise $5.4 billion (¥770 billion) using public equity, innovative financing tools, and securities offerings. If successful, this would mark the largest public equity raise in Asia’s history.
The company’s approach focuses on maximizing its proprietary BTC Yield metric and driving meaningful value for shareholders.
Standing out as Asia’s most ambitious public push into Bitcoin, Metaplanet’s CEO detailed the move on X. The announcement emphasized both the scale of the capital raise and the aggressive targets for Bitcoin accumulation.
“Thrilled to announce Asia’s largest-ever equity raise to buy Bitcoin — again! This time: $5.4 billion to accelerate our Bitcoin strategy. Our new target: 210,000 BTC by 2027,” CEO Simon Gerovich posted on X.

Metaplanet aims to hold 100,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2026 and expand that to 210,000 BTC by 2027, which is equivalent to 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply cap of 21 million.
With this move, Metaplanet raises the stakes among public firms accumulating Bitcoin. Following earlier initiatives, this step reinforces the company’s commitment to leading cryptocurrency reserves, especially as North American and European firms have dominated the space until now.
Meeting its target would position Metaplanet among the world’s leading companies with substantial Bitcoin reserves. This could draw attention from institutional investors and serve as a key indicator of increased crypto adoption among major public firms.
The news comes as Metaplanet expanded its Bitcoin treasury recently to 8,888 BTC after acquiring an additional 1,088 BTC. This accumulation positions it as the 10th-largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder. The Japanese firm also saw its stock price surge to three-month highs in May after announcing Bitcoin acquisitions.

France is engulfed in a new wave of violent protests, with 70,000 security personnel deployed urgently and curfews imposed in multiple cities. Macron admits to mishandling the response. Financial markets have sounded the alarm early — the spread between French and German government bonds has surged to its highest level since the European debt crisis, PMI has fallen below the threshold for expansion, luxury shops have boarded up windows, the Louvre Museum has closed, and Paris City Hall estimates losses of tens of millions of euros. The turmoil also threatens to spread across Europe.

Once frenzied buying, now the "ammunition warehouse" shrinks by 51 trillion KRW! Korean retail investors can no longer afford to buy
In four months, Korean retail investors' "ammunition stockpile" has dropped by 36.5%, returning to levels seen at the beginning of the year. Although retail investors have collectively made net purchases exceeding 75 trillion won, they are still absorbing the sell-off, but the influx of new funds has dried up, and the replenishment rate lags far behind the consumption rate. Combined with the KOSPI plunging nearly 20% this month, continued net selling by foreign investors, and concerns over AI-related credit risks, the Korean stock market may find it difficult to see a sustained rebound in the short term without support from private investors' funds.
