Metaplanet, a Bitcoin-focused investment company, has shown remarkable growth of nearly 190% year-to-date in 2025, significantly outperforming Japan's TOPIX Core 30 index, which posted an average gain of 7.2%. The surge follows Metaplanet's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, with shareholding increasing by 350% since late 2024 to over 180,000 shareholders. The latest earnings report reveals that Metaplanet's performance has surpassed renowned companies like Toyota, Sony, and Mitsubishi, despite the performance of those companies being modest or even declining. Initially founded as a hospitality company, Metaplanet rebranded itself in 2024, aiming to acquire 1% of Bitcoin's total supply by 2027, planning to purchase 210,000 BTC over the next two years. Recent stock offerings are part of its strategy, which has already seen investments exceeding $100 million in Bitcoin purchases. The company's unique position as the only public firm providing regulated Bitcoin exposure in Japan is driving investor confidence and significant market interest.
