MicroStrategy and Metaplanet Plan $3 Billion in Bitcoin Purchases as BTC Nears $100K
Two of the largest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holders are gearing up for significant acquisitions, with plans to collectively purchase $3 billion worth of BTC in 2025.
MicroStrategy (MSTR), a prominent Bitcoin development firm, announced plans over the weekend to raise up to $2 billion through preferred stock offerings in the first quarter of 2025 to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. Meanwhile, Japan-based investment firm Metaplanet revealed its goal to acquire 10,000 BTC—equivalent to nearly $1 billion at current prices—over the course of the year.
“In 2025, we aim to expand our Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by utilizing the most accretive capital market tools available to us,” Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich shared in an X post. “We plan to leverage our partnerships to drive Bitcoin adoption both in Japan and globally while exploring innovative opportunities to expand Metaplanet’s impact within the Bitcoin ecosystem.”
Metaplanet, often referred to as “Japan’s MicroStrategy” due to its aggressive Bitcoin strategy, currently holds approximately $175 million worth of BTC and has a market capitalization of $830 million.
On the other hand, MicroStrategy—which boasts $44 billion in Bitcoin holdings as of Monday—is advancing its ambitious “21/21 Plan.” This initiative aims to raise $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed-income instruments over the next three years to support Bitcoin acquisitions.
Co-founder and board member Michael Saylor hinted at an imminent Bitcoin purchase late Sunday by sharing a viral “SaylorTracker” chart on X. Historically, Saylor has shared similar teasers just ahead of major BTC acquisitions, often causing short-term market fluctuations.
As of Monday morning in Asian trading hours, Bitcoin is hovering above $99,700, approaching the long-anticipated six-figure milestone amid growing activity in options markets.
