Earlier in June, the firm announced its goal of holding 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025. This is part of a broader three-year plan that aims to ramp up holdings to 100,000 by 2026, and eventually, 210,000 BTC by 2027, equivalent to about 1% of Bitcoin\u2019s total supply.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The firm has relied on a mix of equity issuance and proceeds from exercised stock acquisition rights to fuel its steady stream of Bitcoin purchases. Earlier this month, it also filed plans to raise $3.8 billion over the next two years, targeting additional funding for larger acquisitions in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet\u2019s bold BTC strategy is already paying off. The company\u2019s stock is up 147.9% year-to-date, despite falling 26.9% over the past month.
