#MetaplanetBTCPurchase

Metaplanet, the Japanese "Bitcoin Treasury Company," has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings. In its latest move, the company acquired an additional 1,112 BTC for approximately $117.2 million, bringing its total Bitcoin reserves to a remarkable 10,000 BTC. This surpasses Coinbase Global's reported holdings, establishing Metaplanet as a major corporate Bitcoin holder, akin to MicroStrategy's role in Western markets.

To finance these aggressive acquisitions, Metaplanet recently announced a $210 million zero-interest bond issuance and previously outlined plans for a $5.4 billion equity raise. The company has set ambitious targets, aiming to hold 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027, which would represent roughly 1% of Bitcoin's total supply.
