Jakarta, Pintu News – In the dynamic world of finance, Metaplanet has stolen the show with its spectacular stock rise. In the past one month, the company’s stock surged by 121%, a feat that has not only caught the attention of investors but also important figures in the industry.

Bitcoin Strategy as the Key to Success

Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, was quick to respond to the question with a short but meaningful answer: “Bitcoin is the key.” Since the beginning of 2025, Metaplanet has increased their Bitcoin (BTC) holdings by 4.4 times.

With the addition of 6,038 BTC, their total stake now stands at 7,800 BTC. This aggressive strategy not only increased the company’s asset value but also strengthened their position in the stock market. Metaplanet’s operating income also posted impressive numbers reaching JPY 877 million.

This increase was largely credited to the robust Bitcoin strategy. This performance not only boosted investor confidence but also attracted more attention to their shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and in the US stock market where Metaplanet is listed under the code MTPLF.

Funding and Financial Strengthening Round

In a bid to further improve their finances, Metaplanet recently completed a $645 million funding round. These funds were obtained through a $210 million non-discounted moving warrant strike plan that was successfully raised within three months.

The proceeds from this funding have allowed the company to hold $825.98 million worth of Bitcoin, while only having $12.08 million in outstanding bonds. This strategy demonstrates Metaplanet’s commitment to strengthening their Bitcoin reserves and improving their financial position. This strategic move not only strengthens their balance sheet but also gives more confidence to investors and market analysts.
