Two major corporate Bitcoin holders are making plans to expand their holdings in 2025, with MicroStrategy leading the way with a target to acquire up to $2 billion worth of Bitcoin during the first quarter.
MicroStrategy, a Bitcoin-focused tech firm, is preparing to raise up to $2 billion by offering preferred stock to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. This move is in line with the company’s ongoing strategy to grow its Bitcoin assets.
In Japan, Metaplanet, an investment firm, has announced its intention to purchase 10,000 Bitcoin—currently valued at nearly $1 billion—over the course of the year. The company also plans to focus on increasing Bitcoin adoption both domestically and globally. CEO Simon Gerovich shared their vision in an X post, stating, “In 2025, we aim to grow our Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by using the most effective capital market tools available.”
Metaplanet, often dubbed Japan’s MicroStrategy due to its dominant position in the country’s corporate Bitcoin space, holds $175 million worth of Bitcoin and has a market cap of $830 million.
On the other side of the globe, MicroStrategy holds an enormous $44 billion in Bitcoin. The $2 billion capital raise is part of the company’s larger “21/21 Plan,” which aims to generate $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed-income instruments over the next three years. Co-founder Michael Saylor, who has become known for teasing his company’s Bitcoin acquisitions on social media, hinted at another purchase through a recent post showing a chart of the SaylorTracker—a popular graph tracking MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin buys. These posts have often sparked price surges as the market anticipates the company’s next big acquisition.
Bitcoin is currently trading just above $99,700, nearing the $100,000 threshold, amid rising activity in the options market.
