Metaplanet Injects Additional $5 Billion into U.S. Subsidiary for Bitcoin Purchases

Japanese tech giant Metaplanet has announced a fresh $5 billion capital injection into its U.S. subsidiary as part of its ambitious “555 Million Plan” to build a massive Bitcoin treasury. This capital will help the company realize its goal of acquiring 30,000 BTC by the end of this year — equivalent to about 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

Long-Term Goal: 210,000 Bitcoins by 2027

Beyond the 30,000 BTC target for 2025, Metaplanet has laid out a bold long-term vision: to hold a total of 210,000 Bitcoins — or 1% of Bitcoin’s maximum supply — by the end of 2027. To achieve this, the company plans to strategically allocate capital across key global markets, beginning with its U.S. arm listed under the ticker MTPLF.

In its official statement, Metaplanet said: “While we continue to pioneer Bitcoin adoption in Japan, our expansion into the U.S. reflects our commitment to building a globally integrated treasury model. We believe this approach will enhance shareholder value, improve treasury yield efficiency, and strengthen our leadership in Bitcoin-based capital markets.”

Just a day earlier, the company had added 1,111 BTC to its holdings, underscoring its aggressive accumulation strategy.

MTPLF Stock Movement

Following the launch of its U.S. subsidiary in May, MTPLF shares surged to $15. However, the stock has since pulled back, dropping 6% to $11.64 in the most recent trading session. On the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Metaplanet shares also fell 5.38%, closing at 1,547 JPY.

Despite the correction, institutional investors remain bullish. Major firms like Citigroup and Capital Group recently purchased 1 million and 2 million MTPLF shares, respectively. This suggests strong long-term confidence from institutional players, and that the recent dip may simply be a healthy pause after a sharp rally.
