Metaplanet, a company known for its massive Bitcoin holdings, is aiming for Bitcoin dominance. Their CEO, Simon Gerovich, recently revealed an ambitious plan to accumulate a huge Bitcoin stash, so large that competitors can’t catch up. He calls it reaching “escape velocity.”
A Long-Term Bitcoin Strategy
Gerovich envisions a two-phase strategy. Phase one involves aggressively buying Bitcoin, taking advantage of what he sees as a current “gold rush” moment. The goal? To amass enough Bitcoin to make it extremely difficult for anyone else to compete.
Beyond Bitcoin Accumulation
Phase two is all about leveraging their Bitcoin holdings. Gerovich hopes that, in the future, Bitcoin will be accepted as collateral by banks, allowing Metaplanet to borrow money and invest in profitable businesses.
Current Holdings and Future Goals
Metaplanet’s current Bitcoin holdings already place them fifth globally, surpassing even Coinbase. Their ambitious goal is to own at least 210,000 BTC by 2027, a move that would make them the second-largest Bitcoin holder worldwide, behind only Michael Saylor’s company. Gerovich acknowledges that the first phase (Bitcoin accumulation) will likely take four to six years, after which the process will become significantly more challenging.
