Japanese Firm Now Holds Over 8,888 BTC, Among Top Ten Corporate Bitcoin Holders Worldwide
Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based public company, has continued its aggressive Bitcoin investment strategy with a fresh acquisition of 1,088 BTC, pushing its total holdings to 8,888 BTC — now valued at more than $930 million.
The purchase cost the firm 16.885 billion yen ($117.5 million), with an average acquisition price of 15.5 million yen ($108,051) per BTC.
Strategic Move Towards 10,000 BTC Goal by Year-End
Metaplanet initiated its Bitcoin treasury policy in April 2024, committing to the use of BTC as a core asset for corporate reserves. Since then, the firm has added 7,126 BTC in 2025 alone, moving rapidly toward its stated target of holding 10,000 BTC by the end of the year.
This strategy has made Metaplanet the largest corporate holder of BTC in Asia and placed it among the top ten globally.
The company’s latest Bitcoin purchase follows a financial maneuver where it issued $50 million in zero-interest bonds, providing it with capital for BTC acquisition without diluting shareholder equity. This creative financing approach is seen as a bold bet on Bitcoin’s long-term value proposition.
Strong Bitcoin Yield and Financial Gains Reported
Metaplanet has reported impressive returns from its Bitcoin holdings. The company achieved a BTC yield of 66.3% year-to-date, with a BTC gain of 2,684 BTC. In fiat terms, that represents approximately 40.5 billion yen in gains, reinforcing the firm’s strategic direction.
The firm’s BTC performance suggests that its early and aggressive stance on Bitcoin is delivering substantial results.
Bitcoin Price Steady as Corporate Interest Grows
Bitcoin was trading around $105,000 in Asian markets on Monday, remaining relatively stable despite recent macroeconomic uncertainty. Metaplanet’s consistent accumulation is viewed by analysts as a strong signal of growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
With BTC prices hovering near all-time highs, large corporate purchases like Metaplanet’s may continue to influence market dynamics in the months ahead.
Conclusion
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy marks a significant shift in corporate treasury management in Asia. As it nears the 10,000 BTC milestone, the company is positioning itself as a leader in digital asset adoption, setting a precedent for others to follow in the corporate world.
