Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy is based on its newly released 555 Million Plan. It aims to acquire 30,000 BTC before the end of 2025. As part of the investment, the company will sell 555 million stocks to raise 5.4 billion dollars to buy 1 percent of the total Bitcoin supply by 2027.
CEO Simon Gerovich referred to Bitcoin as a global capital repricing mechanism and updated his confidence in the digital asset as a long-term store of value, just like Metaplanet Inc. The firm has surpassed Coinbase and has 9,267 BTC by 733 coins.

Bitcoin Price Targets $114K as Bullish Patterns Strengthen
Bitcoin is consolidating at nearly $106,000 following the formation of a bullish cup and handle pattern. Market analysts have found a neckline at the price of 111000, and a breakout may drive the prices up to the price of 114000. Previous experience demonstrates that such similar trends can lead to substantial price rallies.
On-chain data provided by CryptoQuant confirms the momentum. The Spot Taker cumulative buy indicator, CVD, has a noticeably positive swing, indicating heavy buy-side pressure. The steady green lights show it is prevailing taker buys akin to the earlier bull rallies in 2021 and 2023.
The bullish case has been furthered by a confirmed Golden Cross, or the 50-day simple moving average crossing above the 200-day. All these crossovers since 2023 have occurred before gains of between 49% and 125%. The current projection by analysts involves Bitcoin potentially hitting between $152,000 and $229,000 should trends persist.
