Metaplanet’s Dylan LeClair Open Up on Bitcoin Bets
Dylan LeClair, the key Bitcoin strategist at Metaplanet, opened up the firm’s strategy and its long-term vision with BTC holdings. Now LeClair stated that the firm doesn’t see Bitcoin as a hedge, unlike others who are looking to just dip their toes with 1-2% exposure.
He added that Metaplanet sees Bitcoin as a unit of account for all economic calculations, and thus they decided to go all in last year in May 2024. The result is that the Metaplanet stock is up by a massive 1,565% over the past year, and is now among the most-traded stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
LeClair further stated that since companies are just hopping on the Bitcoin trend, for equity dilution, or having some quick upside in the stock price. However, he stated that Metaplanet is in this for the long term, believing entirely in the asset class.
Dylan LeClair also stated that ZOMBIE companies are hopping onto the Bitcoin Treasury Trend. He added that eventually, the best Bitcoin strategy companies will be the best businesses on the planet.

Metaplanet Stock Grab Investors’ Attention
Metaplanet stock price surged another 15%, ending a trading session on May 27 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 1116 JPY. Amid aggressive Bitcoin purchases this year in 2025, and over the past month, the company’s stock has become investors’ favourite.
Furthermore, it also turned out to be the most traded stock last week on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, along with clocking huge trading volumes on German and US stock indices.
Considering this massive run-up, investors should approach the stock with caution. On the other hand, Metaplanet is likely to pursue fresh Bitcoin purchases moving ahead to meet its 10,000 BTC in Treasury.
In the meantime, Bitcoin (BTC) price continues to flirt with $109,600 levels, facing resistance at all-time high. If BTC continues with the rally ahead, we can see more companies lining up to buy this asset class.
