On July 7, 2025, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced the acquisition of 2,205 Bitcoin (BTC) for approximately $240.8 million, at an average price of $108,237 per coin. This purchase brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 15,555 BTC, valued at roughly $1.69 billion, solidifying its position as the fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally.
Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy, inspired by MicroStrategy’s playbook, has seen its Bitcoin treasury quadruple since March 2025. The latest buy, funded through bond issuances and stock acquisition rights, contributed to a remarkable 416.6% Bitcoin Yield year-to-date, with a 15.1% increase in the past week alone. CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized the firm’s commitment to Bitcoin as a core treasury asset, stating, “This acquisition accelerates our mission to generate value for shareholders.”
The company’s stock (3350.T) rose 0.45% to 1,552 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, reflecting investor confidence despite a recent dip after a $5.4 billion fundraising plan to acquire 210,000 BTC by 2027. Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-focused approach has driven a 346% year-to-date stock rally, positioning it as a leader in Asia’s corporate crypto adoption.
