Metaplanet receives a buy rating with a target price bullish by 50%! Japan's Bitcoin giant's holdings jump to fifth place.

Gate news, despite facing strong selling pressure on Metaplanet's stock price, Benchmark Equity Research has still issued a buy rating with a target price of 2,400 yen, which represents a 50% rise from the current level. Meanwhile, this Japanese listed company is making significant acquisitions of Bitcoin, currently holding 13,350 coins, making it the fifth largest publicly listed company by Bitcoin holdings. Although there has been a recent pullback, the stock has still risen 340% since the beginning of 2025.

Benchmark says Metaplanet's stock pullback is a good buying opportunity Analysts at Benchmark Equity Research recently assigned a "buy" rating to Metaplanet stock for the first time, setting a target price of 2,400 yen. Meanwhile, the company is aggressively acquiring Bitcoin, surpassing Tesla, CleanSpark, and Galaxy Digital in the past week. The company currently holds 13,350 Bitcoins and aims to increase its holdings to 30,000 by the end of 2025.

Less than a year after launching its Bitcoin financial plan based on Michael Saylor's blueprint, the company's stock price has soared 1500%. Benchmark analysts wrote:

"Since its launch, Metaplanet has been the best-performing stock in Japan, with a rise of up to 10 times. We believe that as Metaplanet continues to implement its financing strategy and increase its Bitcoin holdings, its stock price is expected to continue to pump."

In addition, as Metaplanet advances its "$555 million plan" to acquire 1% of the Bitcoin supply by 2027, analysts believe that the company's efficient capital allocation will drive the rise of Metaplanet's stock price. They further added that the company's mobile execution warrants are designed to remain profitable during periods of significant stock price volatility. Higher volatility allows investors to exercise these warrants for profit, thereby enhancing their attractiveness in the market. This unique mechanism further increases the demand for Metaplanet's financial instruments while strengthening the company's financing channels.

Metaplanet Bitcoin收益率飙升 Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that its Bitcoin (BTC) yield has soared, showcasing strong growth momentum for 2025. The company's BTC yield has surged to an impressive 348.8% year-to-date (YTD), surpassing the record of 309.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

So, can Metaplanet's stock price continue its upward trend? The company reminds that this figure partially reflects the low BTC holdings at the beginning of the year. Therefore, the company points out that as holdings increase, this growth rate may not be sustainable. In the second quarter of 2025, Metaplanet's BTC return reached 129.4%, surpassing the first quarter's 95.6% return. This sustained accelerated growth not only highlights the company's ability to maintain growth momentum but also underscores its effective compounding returns.
