Metaplanet CEO says Strategy's Bitcoin strategy unchanged, holdings at 843,775 BTC

Simon Gerovich, chief executive of Japan‑based investment firm Metaplanet, stated that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has not altered the fundamental logic of its long‑standing Bitcoin acquisition strategy despite shifts in market perception. He recalled that Strategy began buying Bitcoin in August 2020, adding roughly $250 million to a software company then valued at about $1 billion, a move initially seen as unusual but later hailed as visionary after the shares rose nearly tenfold. Subsequent Bitcoin market declines erased about 90 % of the share value, prompting criticism of the strategy, yet Gerovich affirmed that the core approach remained unchanged.

According to Gerovich, Strategy continues to purchase Bitcoin uninterruptedly and now holds 843,775 BTC, valued at over $50 billion, keeping it the world’s largest institutional Bitcoin investor. Metaplanet itself has recently accelerated its own Bitcoin purchases, leading many investors to view it as a Japanese adopter of the “Strategy model.”
