Metaplanet now holds more bitcoin than El Salvador, aims for 10,000 BTC by 2025

Jakarta, Pintu News – On May 12, Japanese company Metaplanet announced the purchase of an additional 1,241 Bitcoin (BTC), bringing their total holdings to 6,796 BTC. At current market prices, this total is worth over $700 million, surpassing the amount held by El Salvador at 6,174 BTC (valued at $642 million).

Comparison with El Salvador

El Salvador started their Bitcoin (BTC) acquisition plan in 2021, while Metaplanet only started last year. With more than six months left until the end of 2025, and still about 30% short of the target, Metaplanet could potentially surpass the 10,000 BTC target if their aggressive buying trend continues. The company is using a capital raising model that involves issuing debt and equity, similar to that used by Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy).

Metaplanet’s Aggressive Buying Strategy

Metaplanet has set an ambitious target of owning 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. With an aggressive buying strategy, the company is on track to achieve or even surpass that target. This strategy not only increases the company’s digital assets but also provides significant returns for shareholders. On an annualized basis, Metaplanet’s stock has increased by 1,800%, while on a YTD (year-to-date) basis, its share price is up 58%.

Impact on Markets and Shareholders

The significant increase in Metaplanet’s share value shows that their strategy of accumulating Bitcoin (BTC) has yielded very favorable results. Compared to Strategy, which has 568,840 BTC, Metaplanet offers higher returns despite having less Bitcoin (BTC).

YTD, MSTR Strategy shares are up 28%, while Bitcoin (BTC) itself is only up 6%. This shows that Metaplanet has outperformed both Strategy and Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of share price growth.

Conclusion

Bitcoin (BTC) adoption by corporations and countries has been an important catalyst for Bitcoin (BTC) price growth. With over 3 million BTC, or approximately $330 billion, held by institutions and countries, it shows a rising trend in the acceptance of Bitcoin (BTC) as a corporate asset. Metaplanet, with its aggressive strategy, has not only increased its digital asset portfolio but also delivered significant value to its shareholders.
