Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is stepping up its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. The company’s board of directors has approved a comprehensive plan aiming to increase its total Bitcoin holdings to 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. This goal could make Metaplanet one of the world’s largest institutional Bitcoin investors.

According to the decision, Metaplanet will increase the issuable quantity of Class A and Class B shares to finance new Bitcoin purchases. The company also plans to introduce a variable interest rate structure and a quarterly dividend payment mechanism for these shares.
Thus, investors will have the opportunity to receive regular income four times a year by receiving dividends each quarter. This structure aims to transform stocks into an instrument that provides interest-like returns.
The board also approved the issuance of Class B shares to international institutional investors. This step is expected to increase Metaplanet’s access to international capital and support its Bitcoin purchasing strategy with a broader investor base.
The company’s aggressive Bitcoin target reveals that it views the cryptocurrency as a long-term strategic reserve asset. Metaplanet management believes that Bitcoin’s limited supply and increasing global adoption will strengthen the company’s value in the long term.
Market analysts point out that a purchase plan of this magnitude could have significant effects on both the company’s shares and the Bitcoin market. Metaplanet’s upcoming steps are seen as an important indicator that could shape institutional investors’ approach to cryptocurrencies.
