Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made waves in the crypto world, overtaking El Salvador’s Bitcoin reserves with a bold $126.7M purchase of 1,241 $BTC .
As of May 12, 2025, Metaplanet holds 6,796 BTC, valued at $706.7M, surpassing El Salvador’s 6,174 BTC. CEO Simon Gerovich celebrated the milestone, stating, “From humble beginnings to rivaling nation-states, we’re just getting started.” Since adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset in April 2024, Metaplanet’s stock has soared 1,700%, driven by Japan’s retail investors and a tax-free NISA program.
The firm aims for 10,000 BTC by 2026, positioning itself as Asia’s top corporate Bitcoin holder. This move signals a growing trend of institutional crypto adoption, challenging traditional finance.
