Metaplanet is aggressively investing in Bitcoin by planning an expansion into the United States, intending to secure $250 million and establish itself as a leading player worldwide in promoting corporate Bitcoin usage.

In a post on X dated May 1st, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich disclosed that the company intends to create a fully owned affiliate, Metaplanet Treasury Corp., based in Florida. This decision is part of the company’s broader global expansion plans. Gerovich emphasized that this step will speed up their Bitcoin (BTC) reserve ambitions and widen opportunities for tapping into U.S. financial markets.

Gerovich noted that Florida is swiftly becoming a significant worldwide center for Bitcoin advancements, corporate integration, and monetary freedom. He also mentioned that the U.S. branch will enhance Metaplanet’s ability to operate and establish itself in crucial time zones.

Much like Strategy, Metaplanet has chosen a comparable proactive method when it comes to acquiring Bitcoins. More recently, Eric Trump joined its strategic advisory team, a move that could potentially bolster its growth in the U.S. The company aims to accumulate 10,000 Bitcoins by the year 2025 and eventually reach 21,000 Bitcoins by 2026. This would give them ownership of approximately 1% of all existing Bitcoins.

As an analyst, I’ve noticed that Metaplanet currently holds approximately 5,000 Bitcoins, according to their latest filing on April 24th. This represents half of their ambitious target for 2025. One key metric, the Bitcoin yield, has experienced a substantial growth this year, currently standing at around 13%. To bolster its Bitcoin-centric financial strategy, Metaplanet has employed diverse funding methods, including equity raises, stock acquisition rights, and zero-coupon bonds.

More recently, it has fully utilized its 14th Series Stock Acquisition Rights and partially pre-paid its 11th Series Bonds early. As the biggest Asian corporation holding Bitcoin, this U.S. expansion move is perceived as a daring strategy to broaden its international influence.
