Metaplanet Adds 1,088 Bitcoin, Pushing Holdings to 8,888 BTC Worth Over $930 Million

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has strengthened its position as a major corporate holder of Bitcoin, announcing the purchase of an additional 1,088 BTC. The move brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 BTC—currently valued at over $930 million.

The latest acquisition cost Metaplanet 16.885 billion yen (approximately $117.5 million), with each Bitcoin purchased at an average price of around 15.5 million yen, or $108,051. This substantial buy comes just a week after the firm issued $50 million in zero-interest bonds, further signaling its aggressive commitment to Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset.

Metaplanet has been accelerating its crypto accumulation throughout 2025, adding 7,126 BTC so far this year alone. The company is aiming to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of the year—a target that now looks within reach.

Since adopting its Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has emerged as the largest public Bitcoin holder in Asia and one of the top ten corporate holders globally. The firm’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, credits MicroStrategy and its executive chairman Michael Saylor for inspiring the company's move into Bitcoin. MicroStrategy remains the global leader in corporate Bitcoin holdings, currently holding 580,250 BTC.

Metaplanet’s aggressive crypto strategy appears to be influencing a broader corporate trend. Other firms, such as Twenty One—led by crypto entrepreneur Jack Mallers—have followed suit. In addition to Bitcoin, several companies are now exploring diversified treasury allocations with assets like Ether, XRP, and Solana.

Following the announcement, Metaplanet’s stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose by 2.34% to 1,094 yen as of early afternoon trading. Over the past year, the stock has soared twentyfold, reflecting growing investor confidence. However, its U.S.-listed OTC shares (MTPLF) closed down 7.64% at $7.25 last Friday.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading around $105,000, showing signs of stabilization after a pullback from last week’s record high of $111,800.
