Metaplanet Strengthens Its Bitcoin Treasury
Japan-listed Metaplanet has taken another massive leap in its Bitcoin strategy, acquiring 5,419 BTC for $632.53 million. The purchase, executed at an average price of $116,724 per coin, represents the company’s largest single acquisition to date. With this move, Metaplanet now holds a total of 25,555 BTC, valued at approximately $2.71 billion at an average purchase price of $106,065.
This latest acquisition elevates the Tokyo-based company into the top five global corporate Bitcoin holders, surpassing Bullish, which holds 24,300 BTC. Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy still dominates the list with an impressive 638,985 BTC.

Aggressive Growth and Strategic Ambitions
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy has been nothing short of aggressive. In mid-April 2025, its total holdings stood at just 4,525 BTC. By June, it had already surpassed its initial goal of acquiring 10,000 BTC before the end of the year. The company had originally targeted 21,000 BTC by 2026, but has since revised its ambitions even higher.
The firm’s “555 Million Plan” aims to raise $5.4 billion to buy a staggering 210,000 BTC by 2027. Earlier this month, Metaplanet raised $1.4 billion through a share sale of 385 million new shares, signaling its determination to fund further acquisitions.
CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized transparency in their approach, reporting that Metaplanet has achieved an eye-catching 395.1% year-to-date BTC yield in 2025. This performance has strengthened confidence in its long-term Bitcoin-focused treasury model, which has been dubbed the “Asian Strategy.”
Market Reaction: Stock Dips, Bitcoin Faces Resistance
Despite its bullish Bitcoin stance, Metaplanet’s stock faced downward pressure, sliding 1.64% in Japan on Monday. Over the past month, its stock has dropped 28%, though it still remains up 66.71% year-to-date.
Bitcoin itself also experienced weakness, slipping below $115,000. At press time, BTC traded at $114,503, down 0.94% in 24 hours. Analysts attribute the decline to technical resistance levels, whale activity, and ongoing regulatory concerns that continue to weigh on crypto markets.
The Bigger Picture
Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation places it firmly among the top players betting big on Bitcoin’s future. With a roadmap that extends through 2027, the company appears committed to becoming one of the largest institutional holders of BTC. While short-term market volatility may test investor patience, Metaplanet’s long-term strategy reflects a high-conviction belief in Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
