Metaplanet’s Bold Leap into Bitcoin: Pioneering a New Chapter in Corporate Treasury Strategy
#MetaplanetBTCPurchase
In a move shaking both traditional finance and the crypto sector, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has taken a groundbreaking step by adopting Bitcoin as a core component of its corporate treasury. Following in the footsteps of MicroStrategy, the company has embarked on an aggressive accumulation of the digital asset, ushering in a transformative approach to corporate financial management.
Rapid Expansion of Bitcoin Holdings
Since initiating its Bitcoin acquisition plan in April 2024, Metaplanet has rapidly built a significant position. The company now holds 10,000 BTC, surpassing the holdings of even major crypto-related firms like Coinbase Global. This milestone marks Metaplanet as Asia’s leading corporate Bitcoin holder and places it among the top ten worldwide.
May 2025 marked a particularly active period for the company, with several large purchases—some over 1,000 BTC each. These buys occurred even at high market prices, underscoring Metaplanet’s strong confidence in Bitcoin’s future value.
A Strategic Blueprint: Bitcoin as a Treasury Reserve
Metaplanet's approach closely aligns with the Bitcoin treasury model popularized by MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor. Rather than viewing Bitcoin as a volatile asset, the firm sees it as a long-term hedge against inflation and currency devaluation—particularly relevant in Japan, where the yen continues to weaken.
To fund these large acquisitions, Metaplanet has used creative financial instruments, such as issuing zero-interest ordinary bonds. This method allows the company to secure capital dedicated to Bitcoin purchases without straining its operational finances or short-term profitability. The funds from these instruments are directly channeled into Bitcoin reserves.
