The stock price of Japanese investment firm MetaPlanet, often compared to U.S.-based Strategy, has increased 46-fold in the past year.

Japan’s ‘Strategy’ Shares Soar 46x in a Year Amid Bitcoin Investment Boom

The rally was fueled by Bitcoin’s recent surge, which gained momentum following Donald Trump’s election victory and subsequent pro-crypto stance.

MetaPlanet’s stock performance ranks best among 1,576 companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Standard Market.

With a 46-fold gain, it has become one of the best-performing stocks globally, eclipsing the 4.6% rise in the Standard Index and the 7.3% rise in the broader TOPIX index.

MetaPlanet has undergone a dramatic transformation over the years. Originally founded in 1999 as a music CD company, the company shifted its focus to the hospitality and dining sector in 2013. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted its business, pushing the company into negative equity in 2022.

A year later, it rebranded as MetaPlanet and dedicated itself entirely to Bitcoin investing and holdings.

MetaPlanet had 1,762 BTC (about $171 million) as of the end of 2024, according to a statement it made on January 28.

The company aims to increase its Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026. To fund these purchases, it plans to issue 21 million new shares with adjustable strike prices.
