When Metaplanet's daily cryptocurrency purchase amount reached $110 million and its Bitcoin holdings surpassed 20,000 coins, this Japanese company not only set a new record but also declared Japan's strong position in the institutional crypto race as the sixth largest publicly listed company by Bitcoin holdings globally.
1. The Path of the King: Metaplanet's 20,000 Coin Milestone and Ten-Year Blueprint
Metaplanet's significant increase in holdings has shocked the market:
Scale and Cost: Invested $110 million to acquire 1,009 BTC, raising its total holdings to over 20,000 coins, with a market value exceeding $2.4 billion.
Industry Ranking: With this holding scale, Metaplanet successfully surpassed several European and American giants, rising to the sixth position globally among publicly listed companies by BTC holdings, only behind a few companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla.
Ultimate Goal: The company announced an ambitious long-term roadmap: planning to increase its holdings to 100,000 coins by the end of 2026 and further to 210,000 coins by 2027, aiming directly at MicroStrategy's throne.
Capital engine fully operational:
The shareholders' meeting approved an $884 million stock sale plan, most of which will be used to purchase more Bitcoin, providing ample ammunition for future increases.
Its "debt issuance/stock increase → cryptocurrency purchase" capital operation model has become a benchmark for Japanese companies to follow.
2. Diversified Financing: New Explorations in RWA and Platform Tokens
While Japanese companies focus on BTC, companies in other regions are exploring more diversified paths:
New World Development (01030.HK)'s RWA Layout:
Plans to issue shares at a premium of about 4.2%, netting approximately HKD 49.4 million, with all funds allocated for strategic deployment in the RWA (Real World Assets) application field.
This move indicates that traditional real estate companies are attempting to combine physical assets with blockchain technology through the concept of RWA, exploring new growth curves.
Walnut Capital (00905.HK)'s Platform Token Strategy:
Announced it will hold 10 million CoinUp platform tokens (CP) in reserve.
Its plan aims to promote the use of CP in more application scenarios, representing an "hold → empower → appreciate" ecological participatory investment strategy.
3. Trend Insights: The Rise of the Japanese Model and Strategic Differentiation
Victory of the Japanese Model: Metaplanet's success proves the feasibility of financing crypto allocations through traditional capital market tools (debt issuance, stock increases), a model that is highly replicable and attracting more Japanese companies to join.
Strategy-Driven Goals: Metaplanet has clear long-term goals (100,000 coins, 210,000 coins), making its operations more planned and aggressive rather than simple price speculation.
Differentiated Allocation Paths: The global market shows clear regional differentiation: Japanese companies focus on BTC, American companies are diverse, and Hong Kong companies explore new assets like RWA and platform tokens.
Data shows that the total BTC holdings of Japanese listed companies have exceeded 40,000 coins, with a monthly growth rate far exceeding other regions.
From Metaplanet's $110 million daily expenditure to its 20,000 BTC milestone and the grand goal of 100,000 coins, we see not just the rise of a company but the preliminary realization of a national-level strategy. As New World Development and Walnut Capital seek the future in RWA and platform tokens, Japan's listed companies are telling the world in the simplest and most direct way: Bitcoin is the future.
