Bitcoin may have carved out a $60,000 floor as Metaplanet signals relentless accumulation and long-term upside, reinforcing conviction that volatility won’t derail its aggressive bitcoin-per-share growth strategy.
Metaplanet CEO Sees $60,000 Bitcoin Floor, Signals Ongoing Accumulation
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich shared on social media platform X on Feb. 19 his outlook on bitcoin’s price trajectory, outlining a potential near-term floor and expressing long-term confidence in significantly higher valuations despite ongoing market volatility.
He stated: “On where bitcoin goes from here: I personally believe bitcoin may have found a floor around $60,000, though I hold that view with humility. Nobody knows. What I do know is that it doesn’t change our strategy.” Gerovich framed his view as cautious rather than definitive, emphasizing uncertainty in short-term price movements while maintaining conviction about broader trends. He continued:
“Over the long term, I have no doubt bitcoin will be dramatically higher than it is today. Irrespective of near term price, we will continue to accumulate, continue to grow bitcoin per share, and continue to lean into income generation through derivatives as a core pillar of how we operate.”
The executive linked his price expectations to bitcoin’s fixed supply, expanding global adoption, and characteristics as a store of value, describing these factors as structural drivers that could support higher valuations over time.
Metaplanet released its fiscal year 2025 earnings report on Feb. 16, underscoring the scale of that strategy with total holdings of 35,102 BTC as of Dec. 31, surpassing its 30,000 BTC target for the year. The company identified itself as the largest public bitcoin holder in Japan and the fourth largest globally, and disclosed cumulative capital raises exceeding ¥527 billion to fund acquisitions. It outlined a long-term objective of reaching 210,000 BTC by 2027, equivalent to 1% of the total bitcoin supply, while cautioning that the goal is forward-looking and subject to market risks. The earnings presentation reported a 568.26% year-to-date BTC yield in 2025, reflecting growth in bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share, alongside BTC gains of 10,013 during the year. Revenue reached ¥8,905 million and operating profit totaled ¥6,287 million, driven primarily by premium income from bitcoin option transactions.
