Metaplanet buys 1,200 BTC for $125 million
Now holds more Bitcoin than El Salvador
Continues aggressive crypto accumulation strategy
Japan’s Metaplanet Goes All In on Bitcoin
In a major move that has captured the attention of the global crypto community, Japan’s Metaplanet has completed its largest-ever Bitcoin purchase. The company has acquired a massive 1,200 BTC at a value of $125 million. This significant investment pushes Metaplanet’s total holdings beyond those of El Salvador, the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
The Tokyo-based firm has been following a strategy strikingly similar to that of Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy—using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. This latest purchase signals that Metaplanet is not just dabbling in crypto, but is committed to a long-term accumulation strategy.
Surpassing El Salvador’s Bitcoin Holdings
El Salvador has long been a poster child for nation-level Bitcoin adoption. However, with this bold acquisition, Metaplanet now owns more Bitcoin than the Central American nation. This shift shows how private companies in Asia are stepping up to become serious players in the crypto space.
Analysts believe Metaplanet’s aggressive strategy is a bet on Bitcoin’s long-term value, especially in a world facing inflation and uncertain monetary policy. The move also reflects growing corporate interest in Bitcoin beyond Western markets.

What This Means for the Crypto Market
Metaplanet’s growing Bitcoin reserves serve as a strong vote of confidence for the future of digital assets. Institutional adoption like this helps stabilize the market and may even influence other Asian corporations to explore similar strategies.
As Metaplanet continues to build its Bitcoin portfolio, the crypto market is watching closely. This level of corporate involvement could mark a new era for Bitcoin adoption in Asia and beyond.
