Metaplanet Sets 210K BTC Goal by 2027
Metaplanet initially planned to reach 21,000 BTC by 2026, but it has now set much higher goals. The previous “21 Million Plan” has been replaced with the more ambitious “555 Million Plan.” The company said that 96% of funds from the 555M Plan will go toward buying Bitcoin, while the rest will be used for bond redemptions and earning yield. Under its updated plan, Metaplanet aims to reach 30,000 BTC by end-2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027. Reaching this goal would give the company 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply, making it one of the largest holders worldwide.
