Metaplanet was once a niche Tokyo hotel operator—ticker 3350.T—but in April 2024 it torched the hospitality playbook, declared “Bitcoin or death,” and never looked back.
Thirteen months later the firm sits on 8 ,888 BTC worth nearly $930 million after its latest 1,088-coin buy on June 2 2025.
Management just raised its sights to 100 k BTC by 2026 and a mind-bending 210 k BTC by 2027—roughly 1 % of all Bitcoin that will ever exist.
Every yen of low-rate debt it prints, every share it issues, every zero-coupon bond it floats is funneled straight into digital scarcity, turning the balance-sheet into a thermonuclear hodl reactor.
The result: stock volatility that makes MicroStrategy look tame and a new KPI—“BTC Yield” (Bitcoin per diluted share)—that flips legacy accounting on its head.
⚔️ 1. From Ryokan to Rocket—Metaplanet’s Origin Myth
- April 2024 – The Reforge. Inspired by Michael Saylor, the board adopts a Bitcoin-treasury standard and sells off most hotel assets to fund its first 117 BTC stack.
- “Bitcoin Hotel.” The lone property it kept in Tokyo is being rebuilt as a crypto-themed monument where sats are the room key.
- Ticker Takeoff. Shares rip from penny-stock purgatory to high-beta Bitcoin proxy, attracting day-traders and pension funds alike.
🔥 2. The War-Chest Numbers
| Metric | As of June 2025 | Source |
| BTC held | 8,888 BTC | |
| 12-month increase | +7,771 BTC | |
| BTC Yield (YTD) | 170 % | |
| Fund-raising to date | ¥93.3 B equity + ¥7.7 B bonds | |
| 2026 target | 100,000 BTC | |
| 2027 target | 210,000 BTC |
One company, two years, 1 % of the pie—let that scarcity math marinate.
🌊 3. Three Shockwaves Hitting Asia Inc.
3.1 Negative-Rate Arbitrage
Borrow yen at sub-1 %, buy Bitcoin with exponential upside; Metaplanet’s bond program is a real-time arbitrage master-class.
3.2 KPI Revolution
“BTC Yield” reframes dilution as victory—if Bitcoin per share rises, shareholders cheer even when new stock floods the market.
3.3 Reflexive Arms Race
Every sat Metaplanet locks up raises the cost for rivals; Cointelegraph estimates the firm wants another 91 k BTC within 18 months, forcing Japan Inc. to hustle or be left holding melting yen.
🚀 4. How to Ride the Metaplanet Wave
- Stack Your Own Sats: Don’t wait for board approval—front-run the corporates.
- Study the Playbook: Cheap local debt? Lean treasury? Copy-paste the Metaplanet model before your competitor does.
- Watch the Stock: Volatility is opportunity; Metaplanet trades like a leveraged BTC ETF without custody headaches.
- Prepare for Scarcity: If one mid-cap firm can aim for 1 % of supply, imagine the supply-shock when Fortune 500s pile in.
🐲 5. Eric Kim Battle Cry
“Fiat is the paper fortress; Bitcoin is the adamantine sword. Metaplanet just swung the blade—and the corporate world felt the cut. Your move. Load your treasury, harden your mindset, and let the weak hands evaporate in yen-flation. The window is small, the ledger is forever, and the scoreboard reads 21 million. Choose weight. Choose scarcity. Choose glory.”
