Bitcoin Boost: Metaplanet Stock Jumps 17.8% in Hours

This collaboration could have already benefited Metaplanet as its shares have been surging today as well. Based on the data from Google Finance this company’s share value in the Tokyo Stock Exchange has increased by 17.8%. This increase pushed the value to 4,730 Japanese yen which is equal to $31.74. The data was recorded in the first one and a half hours of March 21.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Ambitions: Can They Hit 10,000 BTC?

Based on the information from BitBo’s BitcoinTreasuries.NET, among various companies, Metaplanet BTC holdings are currently the 12th-largest. This company currently holds 3,050 bitcoins in its reserve, which is estimated to be worth nearly $4.1 billion. However, this number may be more than tripled by the end of the year as the company has a bold target.

Based on an announcement, there are also plans to increase Metaplanet BTC holdings to 10,000 by the end of 2025. To reach this goal the firm has increased its accumulation pace since 2024, however the 10,000 goal doesn’t feel plausible. Currently, the company has purchased only 1,288 BTC over the period of 11 weeks since the start of 2025. The company has been making moves to increase its purchasing power, for instance, negotiations to join the American stock market.

Metaplanet Power Team to Accelerate Bitcoin Adoption

April 23, 2024, marks its first Bitcoin purchase, and since then Metaplanet has used various methods to purchase more BTC. This latest collaboration with Eric Trump could also be another method for increasing the company’s financial power. Based on their statement they are creating a board of influential figures who are committed to further Bitcoin adoption. This new board will have thought leaders, speakers, and influential voices.

Donald Trump son, Eric Trump has also been involved with managing other crypto investment companies as well. This company is the World Liberty Financial crypto investment firm which ended its second phase of token sale in March. With this second phase ending the WLFI firm now has $550 million of funding. Arkham Intelligence, a market analysis platform, recently reported that Trump’s firm now manages $80.8 million in crypto. Additionally, Eric Trump crypto holdings were recently revealed which include BTC, ETH, SOL, and SUI. 

Strategic Partnerships and Global Expansion

As the crypto industry grows companies can use such collaboration with pro-crypto celebrities to increase adoption and investments. Additionally, this can be Metaplanet’s debut in the American crypto and stock market and can function as an advertisement. As such with such an influential figure recruited, the future of this Japanese company seems to be bright.
