Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made headlines again by purchasing an additional 1,005 Bitcoin (BTC), boosting its total holdings to 13,350 BTC—a move that now places it ahead of Galaxy Digital and CleanSpark in the rankings of publicly listed corporate Bitcoin holders.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Holdings Now Worth $1.4 Billion
The latest acquisition, valued at approximately $108.1 million, was executed at an average price of $107,601 per BTC, according to CEO Simon Gerovich. Based on current market prices, Metaplanet’s 13,350 BTC are worth roughly $1.4 billion.
“Just three months ago, we announced hitting 3,350 BTC — and now we’ve added 10,000 more,” Gerovich wrote on X.
With this strategic move, Metaplanet has overtaken:
- Galaxy Digital with 12,830 BTC
- CleanSpark with 12,502 BTC
According to industry trackers, Metaplanet now ranks as the fifth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally—behind giants like MicroStrategy, which still leads with a staggering 592,345 BTC.
Aggressive Bitcoin Strategy and Bond Issuance
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy includes a target to hold over 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. To support this expansion, the company has issued zero-interest ordinary bonds worth 30 billion yen ($208 million). The funds will be used both to:
- Buy back and cancel previous bond issuances
- Finance additional Bitcoin purchases
“Funds raised through the new bonds will partially fund the buyback of existing bonds, with the rest used for further Bitcoin acquisition,” the firm stated.
Stock Price Soars Alongside BTC Holdings
Following the announcement, Metaplanet’s stock rose 9.9% on Monday morning in Tokyo. Over the past 30 days, the company’s stock is up 53.5%, with a year-to-date increase of 370.7%, reflecting investor confidence in its Bitcoin-first strategy.
Conclusion: Metaplanet’s Bold Bet on Bitcoin Continues
As institutional interest in Bitcoin grows, Metaplanet is positioning itself at the forefront of corporate crypto adoption. With a clear goal to aggressively increase holdings and the financial mechanisms to do so, the firm is quickly becoming a major player in the digital asset space—and a potential benchmark for Bitcoin treasury management in Asia.
