Metaplanet surpasses Tesla with 12,345 BTC, advancing its position as Japan’s top corporate Bitcoin holder amid rapid accumulation.
Backed by a $5B capital plan, Metaplanet aims to acquire 201,112 BTC by 2027, reflecting growing institutional conviction in Bitcoin.
Institutional interest in Bitcoin strengthens globally as firms like Nakamoto, K33, and The Blockchain Group expand their crypto reserves.
Metaplanet, Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has surpassed Tesla in total BTC holdings following a major acquisition. On Thursday, the firm announced it had purchased 1,234 Bitcoin, raising its total reserves to 12,345 BTC. This places Metaplanet ahead of Tesla’s 11,509 BTC and positions it as the seventh-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET.
The purchase came at an average price of around $108,000 per Bitcoin. At the time of the announcement, Bitcoin traded slightly higher at $108,150, a 1.4% increase in 24 hours. Moreover, Metaplanet’s treasury is now within close range of CleanSpark, which holds 12,502 BTC.
Strategic Expansion and the 555 Million Plan
Metaplanet’s latest move follows Tuesday’s notice confirming board approval for an additional capital injection of up to $5 billion. However, the company has not disclosed the amount raised so far. The capital will fuel the firm’s “555 Million Plan,” a roadmap to acquire 201,112 BTC by 2027—costing over $21 billion at current prices.
Earlier, Metaplanet revealed plans to hold 100,000 Bitcoin by 2026. This shows the firm’s increasing conviction in Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. Consequently, the company has now outpaced most tech giants in BTC holdings, with few remaining ahead.
Broader Institutional Accumulation Trends
Besides Metaplanet, institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to strengthen. Nakamoto Holdings recently secured $51.5 million to boost its Bitcoin treasury. Similarly, Parataxis Holdings launched a new BTC treasury platform in South Korea. In Norway, K33 aims to raise 85 million SEK ($8.9 million) to acquire 1,000 BTC.
Moreover, French firm The Blockchain Group added 182 BTC to its reserves, now holding 1,728 BTC in total. Norwegian exchange Block Exchange also launched a Bitcoin treasury, triggering a 138% stock surge.
Meanwhile, long-term holders are quietly accumulating BTC. Historical patterns show such phases precede strong price rallies. At $100K, the long/short-term holder ratio has risen again, mirroring past bullish setups.

Hence, if this trend continues, Bitcoin could soon rally toward $160K. The market structure, institutional activity, and treasury growth all align in favor of this forecast.
