Metaplanet, Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury company, has boosted its BTC holdings with a $26.3M purchase of 319 BTC, bringing its total to 4,525 BTC, worth ~$386M. This aggressive acquisition, funded by a $10M zero-coupon USD bond, aligns with its goal of reaching 10,000 BTC by 2025 and 21,000 by 2026, aiming for 1% of Bitcoin’s fixed supply. The Tokyo-listed firm, dubbed “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” uses direct buys, options, and financing to hedge against fiat devaluation, achieving a 95.6% BTC Yield in Q1 2025. Despite market volatility from U.S.-China trade tensions, Metaplanet’s stock surged 19% after a prior $44M buy, reflecting investor confidence. CEO Simon Gerovich emphasizes Bitcoin’s long-term potential, with Eric Trump’s advisory role adding buzz. As institutional adoption grows, Metaplanet’s strategy positions it as a top global Bitcoin holder, ranking 9th among public firms.
