Metaplanet approaches controlling 1% of the global Bitcoin supply after a new acquisition. The Japanese company Metaplanet, a leader in digital treasury management, continued its bold expansion plan in the Bitcoin market with a new purchase valued at $11.7 million, according to an official disclosure dated August 25.
The company added 103 Bitcoins to its portfolio at an average price of $113,491 per coin, bringing its total holdings to 18,991 Bitcoins, with a current market value estimated at around $1.95 billion.
This investment comes just days after it acquired 775 Bitcoins worth $93 million, reinforcing its position as the largest institutional holder of Bitcoin in Asia and the seventh globally among listed companies, according to crypto.news data.
The company's president, Simon Gierovich, stated that Metaplanet's portfolio achieved an astonishing annual return of 479.5% since the beginning of 2025, with a quarterly return of 29.1%.
The company aims to increase its holdings to 30,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025, then to 100,000 in 2026, reaching 210,000 Bitcoins by 2027, which is approximately 1% of the total global supply.
Despite a 26.9% drop in the company's stock over the past month, it is still up 147.9% since the beginning of the year, and has gained further recognition in traditional markets following its listing in the FTSE Japan index and its upgrade from small to medium-sized company classification.
