Happy New Year to Our Valued Shareholders! As we step into 2025, I couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead for Metaplanet.

Apart from its Bitcoin reserves plans, Metaplanet is focused on promoting Bitcoin adoption in Japan and globally. “We’re not just building a company but driving a movement,” Gerovich said, highlighting the firm’s commitment to helping the adoption of Bitcoin in Japan’s financial area.

Metaplanet, which is also known as Asia’s Microstrategy, has a growth strategy coinciding with bullish predictions for Bitcoin. Asset managers VanEck and Bitwise anticipate Bitcoin prices could soar to $180,000–$200,000 by 2025, thanks to the potential adoption of a strategic Bitcoin reserve by the United States under a crypto-friendly administration. Gerovich speculated that such a move could ignite a global trend, with countries like Japan likely following suit.

Speaking at Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin New Year’s Eve event in Florida, Gerovich highlighted Japan’s close alignment with U.S. financial strategies. “If President Trump adopts Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, Japan and many other countries in Asia will follow,” he explained.

Metaplanet has been steadily acquiring Bitcoin, adding 619.7 BTC on Dec. 23, its largest single purchase to date, accounting for over 35% of its total holdings. The company’s shares have climbed 27.5% since it began its Bitcoin acquisition strategy in April 2024, with an average purchase price of $77,196 per Bitcoin.
