During the Bitcoin $100k Party hosted by MicroStrategy Founder Michael Saylor, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich predicted that Bitcoin would reach $200k by the end of 2025. Gerovich based his anticipation on Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly policies, including the much-hyped Bitcoin reserve strategy. He posited that if Trump adopts Bitcoin as the US’ national reserve, Japan and other Asian nations will follow suit.
Often referred to as Asia’s MicroStrategy due to its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation, Metaplanet currently holds 1,762 BTC, valued at around $165 million. The platform remains the 15th largest publicly traded company in terms of BTC reserves. According to the latest report, Metaplanet’s stock has grown by a staggering 1,947% in 2024, closing the year at around ¥3,480. The platform also saw a massive surge in its trading volume by more than 388x year-over-year.
In the Bitcoin event, Gerovich expressed his optimism towards US President Trump’s crypto-focused policies. He believes that Trump will embrace Bitcoin to expand the US’ reserves, influencing other nations to follow the same path. He stated, “Hopefully President Trump will do what he has said that he will, which is to make Bitcoin a strategic reserve, and then countries around the world will follow.” Further, commenting on Bitcoin’s growing influence around the world, Gerovich cited,
Is Bitcoin’s Stellar 2024 Setting the Stage for a Brighter 2025?“Slowly but surely seeing Bitcoin becoming a topic of discussion at the highest levels of government, corporations around the world beginning to adopt it as a Bitcoin standard,” Gerovich said . “Now all we wanna do is accumulate more Bitcoin over time for our shareholders. And so 2024 will go down as the year where it all began.”
Gerovich’s words reflect the sway the US has on other nations. While the US policies significantly impact global financial strategies, the country’s BTC reserve plan could lead to a surge in Bitcoin’s adoption worldwide.
