CEO Simon Gerovic shares his 2025 vision
Simon Jirovich, CEO of Japanese investment firm Metaplanet, has stated that the company has ambitious goals for 2025 with a strategic focus on Bitcoin.
In their latest tweet, Metaplanet announced plans to expand their Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC.

In order to achieve the 10k BTC milestone, Gerovitch plans to use the company's proven capital market tools. The focus will be on increasing transparency and stakeholder engagement through new initiatives.
The company aims to develop partnerships to encourage Bitcoin adoption not only in Japan but also around the world. In addition, Metaplanet will explore opportunities to further increase its influence on the Japanese market and the wider Bitcoin ecosystem.
“Last year was a turning point, when we broke records, expanded our Bitcoin treasury and strengthened our position as Asia's leading Bitcoin treasury company. This year, we are laser-focused on execution and driving greater value for our shareholders.
Jirovich has previously said that if the United States adopts bitcoin as a strategic reserve, it could ignite a global domino effect and eventually prompt other countries to follow suit. He cited Japan as a prime example, saying that it is a country that often looks to the United States for guidance.
If the US under President Trump takes this step, Japan and other Asian countries will mirror the move, the Metaplanet executive said. These comments were given during Michael Saylor's Bitcoin New Year's Eve party in Florida, where discussions focused on the growing influence of Bitcoin in international economic strategies.
2025: “The Coming of Corporations”
Meanwhile, Jerovich's revelations for 2025 come two weeks after Metaplanet purchased 619.7 BTC as part of its Bitcoin Treasury operations. This stock was worth around $60.6 million at the time. Subsequent purchases pushed the Tokyo-listed company's holdings to 1,761 BTC.
Experts suggest that the main theme in 2025 will be the “come of corporations” as corporations increasingly adopt bitcoin as a reserve asset. Among the top corporate holders of Bitcoin, MicroStrategy leads the pack with 446,400 BTC, followed by Marathon Digital with 44,394 BTC and Riot with 17,429 BTC. Metaplanet currently ranks 15th behind Semler Scientific and Exodus.
