#MetaplanetBTCPurchase

Here’s a update on Metaplanet’s latest Bitcoin haul:

Tokyo-listed Metaplanet announced on May 12 that it snapped up 1,241 BTC for roughly ¥18.4 billion (about $126 million), bumping its treasury to 6,796 BTC—enough to eclipse El Salvador’s stash and cement its spot as Asia’s top corporate holder.

This aggressive buy is part of Metaplanet’s broader play to hit 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, a strategy financed through stock warrants, zero-coupon bonds, and even a new U.S. fundraising arm in Florida.

What does it mean? First, it shows that Japanese firms are now as bullish on on-chain reserves as their U.S. counterparts like MicroStrategy. Second, piling in at scale could give Metaplanet’s shares—and Bitcoin itself—a nudge, as big buys tend to tighten supply on exchanges. Finally, this move underlines a growing trend: corporations treating $BTC not just as a volatile asset, but as a core treasury tool to hedge inflation and diversify traditional balance sheets.

In short: Metaplanet’s latest purchase isn’t just a number—it’s a clear signal that the corporate Bitcoin race is going global.
