The post Michael Saylor Sparks Bitcoin Sovereign Debate After Metaplanet Buys 1,111 BTC appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Metaplanet is back on the move. The Tokyo-listed company just added 1,111 BTC to its balance sheet, pushing its total holdings to 11,111 BTC and catching the attention of none other than Michael Saylor.
In a tweet reply today, Saylor asked: “How many companies have a path to Bitcoin Sovereign?” It’s a pointed question, landing just as Metaplanet confirmed its latest buy and laid out a much bigger plan.
Here are the deets.
Metaplanet Lays Out Aggressive Bitcoin Timeline
Crypto enthusiasts know that this was not a one-off buy.
Metaplanet now aims to hold 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, with longer-term goals set at 100,000 BTC in 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. If it hits that final target, the company’s holdings would be worth over $20 billion at current prices.
For now, its Bitcoin position is valued at around $1.13 billion, based on an average purchase price of $94,695. That’s a 7.8% unrealized gain and Bitcoin now makes up 15.3% of Metaplanet’s total market cap of $6.7 billion. Impressive, right?
A Tweet That Got the Market Thinking
Saylor’s brief tweet may not seem like much, but in this market, timing matters. Strategy, the firm behind the massive Bitcoin bets, often makes its announcements on Mondays. Today’s post could be a quiet signal that more is coming.
Last Monday, Strategy bought 10,100 BTC for over $1 billion, bringing its total to a staggering 592,100 BTC. That position is now worth around $60.4 billion, making up 58.5% of the company’s total market cap of $103.3 billion.
BTC Holding Above $100K
Bitcoin is trading slightly above $100,000 today, after briefly dipping over the weekend. Despite the volatility, both Metaplanet and Strategy are still adding to their positions and showing no signs of slowing down.
Metaplanet’s stock (3350.T) is currently trading at over six times its net asset value which is a sign investors are betting big on its Bitcoin-first strategy.
And with Saylor tossing out phrases like “Bitcoin Sovereign,” the message is clear: this is about power, control and who’s building for the long game.
