    Michael Saylor Sparks Bitcoin Sovereign Debate After Metaplanet Buys 1,111 BTC

    Story Highlights
    • Metaplanet adds 1,111 BTC, raising its total holdings to 11,111 BTC.

    • Michael Saylor responds with a tweet, reigniting the โ€œBitcoin Sovereignโ€ debate.

    • Both Metaplanet and Strategy continue aggressive BTC accumulation above $100K.

    Metaplanet is back on the move. The Tokyo-listed company just added 1,111 BTC to its balance sheet, pushing its total holdings to 11,111 BTC and catching the attention of none other than Michael Saylor.

    In a tweet reply today, Saylor asked: โ€œHow many companies have a path to Bitcoin Sovereign?โ€ Itโ€™s a pointed question, landing just as Metaplanet confirmed its latest buy and laid out a much bigger plan.

    Here are the deets. 

    Metaplanet Lays Out Aggressive Bitcoin Timeline

    Crypto enthusiasts know that this was not a one-off buy. 

    Metaplanet now aims to hold 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, with longer-term goals set at 100,000 BTC in 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. If it hits that final target, the companyโ€™s holdings would be worth over $20 billion at current prices.

    For now, its Bitcoin position is valued at around $1.13 billion, based on an average purchase price of $94,695. Thatโ€™s a 7.8% unrealized gain and Bitcoin now makes up 15.3% of Metaplanetโ€™s total market cap of $6.7 billion. Impressive, right? 

    A Tweet That Got the Market Thinking

    Saylorโ€™s brief tweet may not seem like much, but in this market, timing matters. Strategy, the firm behind the massive Bitcoin bets, often makes its announcements on Mondays. Todayโ€™s post could be a quiet signal that more is coming.

    Last Monday, Strategy bought 10,100 BTC for over $1 billion, bringing its total to a staggering 592,100 BTC. That position is now worth around $60.4 billion, making up 58.5% of the companyโ€™s total market cap of $103.3 billion.

    BTC Holding Above $100K

    Bitcoin is trading slightly above $100,000 today, after briefly dipping over the weekend. Despite the volatility, both Metaplanet and Strategy are still adding to their positions and showing no signs of slowing down.

    Metaplanetโ€™s stock (3350.T) is currently trading at over six times its net asset value which is a sign investors are betting big on its Bitcoin-first strategy.

    And with Saylor tossing out phrases like โ€œBitcoin Sovereign,โ€ the message is clear: this is about power, control and whoโ€™s building for the long game.
