On June 24, Japan-based firm Metaplanet announced it will move up to $5 billion into its Florida subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury Corp, for Bitcoin acquisition. The company confirmed this transfer in a board-approved filing, stating that all funds will be used solely to buy Bitcoin.
The $5 billion capital injection is part of Metaplanet’s broader Bitcoin strategy, which aims to reach 210,000 BTC by 2027. The company said none of this amount will go toward operations, employee salaries, or research and development. Instead, the funds will go directly into Bitcoin holdings.
According to the filing, Metaplanet plans to raise the funds by exercising its 20th to 22nd stock acquisition rights, which act like warrants. These allow the company to secure capital as its share price increases.
Metaplanet’s U.S. operations will now serve as the primary base for executing large-scale Bitcoin acquisition. The firm said the Florida subsidiary allows better access to capital markets, execution tools, and financial infrastructure.
“The United States, as the world’s preeminent financial center, offers optimal conditions for efficient and large-scale Bitcoin acquisition and management,”
Metaplanet noted in its official statement.
The company will continue operating its Tokyo office as a research and development hub, while the U.S. unit manages Bitcoin purchases and related treasury activities. This move follows an earlier statement from May 1, when the company outlined its U.S. plans.
Bitcoin Holdings Reach 11,111 BTC After Latest Purchase
One day before the announcement, on June 23, Metaplanet confirmed it had acquired an additional 1,111 BTC. This purchase increased its total Bitcoin holdings to 11,111 BTC, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.net.
The new Bitcoin acquisition followed a series of smaller purchases earlier in 2025. The company’s filings suggest that its strategy is to steadily increase BTC reserves using pre-authorized stock mechanisms.
By June 24, Metaplanet had already passed Coinbase in total Bitcoin owned. Its next goal, according to the official plan, is to reach 210,000 BTC before 2027 ends.
All Proceeds Directed to Bitcoin, No Diversification Planned
The company confirmed that 100% of the $5 billion capital injection will be used to expand Bitcoin holdings. There are no plans to diversify into other assets. This decision aligns with earlier filings and public statements from Metaplanet’s leadership.
Metaplanet explained that exercising the stock acquisition rights will allow it to fund purchases in phases. These rights activate as the company’s stock value meets pre-set levels. That structure gives Metaplanet flexibility in how and when to complete purchases.
The funds are already approved by the board, and the mechanism for raising capital is in place. There are no additional shareholder approvals needed.
The announcement came as other large firms also expanded their corporate Bitcoin holdings. On June 24, Fidelity added over $105 million in Bitcoin to its treasury, based on separate public records.
These moves come during a quarter where multiple companies, including MicroStrategy and Nakamoto Holdings, disclosed new Bitcoin acquisitions. The activity signals continued accumulation of BTC by corporate entities through 2025.
By using a Florida subsidiary, Metaplanet joins other international firms setting up U.S.-based units to manage Bitcoin acquisition more efficiently.
