Metaplanet has announced the acquisition of an additional 780 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 17,132 BTC. This initiative aims for an ambitious target of 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026.
Bitcoin Purchase and Financial Strategy
Metaplanet announced the purchase of 780 BTC, amounting to over $2 billion at current prices. The purchase was made using capital raised through share-linked funding, allowing the company to redeem corporate bonds and buy fresh Bitcoin.
*“We are increasing our Bitcoin holdings through acquisitions funded by capital market activities and operating income,”* the company stated.
Updated 2026 Plan
In its updated '555 Million Plan', Metaplanet has raised its target for Bitcoin holdings to 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026, a significant increase from its previous goal of 21,000 BTC. To reach this new target, the company will need to acquire around $10 billion in new Bitcoin, which equates to roughly 4,900 BTC per month over the next 17 months.
Impact on the Bitcoin Market
Metaplanet's actions come amid an already tight Bitcoin market, where institutional accumulation and ETF demand are outpacing miner supply. Analysts suggest that if the company continues its purchases and Bitcoin remains above $120,000, this could push prices to $135,000-$150,000 by mid-2026. However, if investor support dries up, it could slow down purchases and result in Bitcoin prices retracing to $105,000-$110,000.
Recent findings indicate that Metaplanet's Bitcoin acquisitions could be one of the most significant corporate stories in the crypto industry by 2026. If they reach their 100,000 BTC target, they may have a deep-rooted presence in corporate Bitcoin treasuries, potentially impacting overall market liquidity.
