Metaplanet Surpasses MARA Holdings in Global Bitcoin Treasury Rankings

With its latest acquisitions, Metaplanet has overtaken MARA Holdings to become the third largest corporate Bitcoin holder worldwide. The shift occurred after MARA Holdings significantly reduced its Bitcoin stack in recent months.

Twenty One Capital holds the second position globally with 43,514 BTC, while Strategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder by a wide margin, maintaining more than 762,000 BTC. These rankings highlight the growing competition among corporations accumulating Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

Following the announcement of its expanded holdings, shares of Metaplanet declined by 2%, trading at 302 yen, equivalent to approximately $1.89. The price movement reflects typical market adjustments despite the company’s continued growth in Bitcoin reserves.
