- Metaplanet has purchased an additional 1,005 BTC for $108 million, boosting its total holdings to 13,350 BTC and making it the fifth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder.
- The move triggered a nearly 10% surge in its stock price, as the firm continues its aggressive strategy to accumulate over 210,000 BTC by 2027.
Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet has made headlines again with another massive Bitcoin acquisition, purchasing 1,005 BTC for approximately $108 million. This latest buy cements Metaplanet’s status as one of the top corporate holders of Bitcoin, propelling it into the fifth spot on the global leaderboard of publicly traded companies with the largest BTC holdings.
With this purchase, Metaplanet now owns a total of 13,350 BTC, valued at roughly $1.45 billion at current market prices. The company’s average cost for this round of accumulation was about $107,601 per Bitcoin, according to CEO Simon Gerovich. Speaking on the company’s strategic direction, Gerovich noted, “Just three months ago, we announced at our shareholder meeting that we hit 3,350 BTC and now we’ve added 10,000 more to reach 13,350 BTC.”
The firm’s aggressive accumulation strategy is part of its revised long-term vision to acquire over 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. This ambitious target places Metaplanet among a small group of corporations betting heavily on Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
The latest acquisition was partially financed through the issuance of ¥30 billion (approximately $208 million) in zero-coupon, non-interest-bearing bonds, set to mature in December 2025. This financing move reflects Metaplanet’s ongoing use of debt and equity instruments to fund its BTC buys while also engaging in bond buybacks to enhance its capital efficiency.
Notably, the company uses a unique shareholder-focused metric — Bitcoin per fully diluted share — to measure the yield and performance of its Bitcoin strategy. Following the latest purchase, Metaplanet reported a quarter-to-date BTC yield exceeding 129%.
Market participants responded positively to the news, with Metaplanet’s shares surging nearly 10% on the day of the announcement. The firm’s stock has been on an impressive run in 2025, climbing more than 350% year-to-date, reflecting growing investor confidence in its Bitcoin-centric approach.
On the corporate Bitcoin leaderboard, Metaplanet now trails only behind giants like Strategy (592,345 BTC), Marathon Digital (49,179 BTC), Twenty One Capital (37,229.7 BTC), and Riot Platforms (19,225 BTC). Last week, it surpassed Tesla, whose Bitcoin holdings have remained stagnant in recent quarters.
As Metaplanet continues its aggressive march toward becoming a Bitcoin powerhouse, the company’s strategic moves are reshaping investor perceptions of corporate treasury management, and reinforcing Bitcoin’s growing role as a long-term store of value in the corporate world.
