Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has significantly expanded its Bitcoin portfolio by acquiring an additional 1,088 BTC for approximately ¥16.89 billion (about $117.5 million), pushing its total Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 BTC valued at nearly $930 million. This latest purchase was made at an average price of around ¥15.5 million ($108,000) per Bitcoin, reflecting Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy that began in April 2024.
The company, now Asia’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder and ranked among the top ten corporate Bitcoin holders globally, has amassed 7,126 BTC in 2025 alone and is targeting a year-end total of 10,000 BTC. To finance these acquisitions, Metaplanet has raised capital through zero-interest bonds and stock acquisition rights, recently issuing $50 million in zero-coupon bonds to support its Bitcoin purchases without diluting equity.
Metaplanet’s CEO Simon Gerovich has acknowledged the influence of Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy’s pioneering Bitcoin treasury strategy on their approach, emphasizing Bitcoin’s role as a foundational asset for future finance. The company’s BTC Yield, a proprietary metric measuring Bitcoin accumulation per share, stands at 66.3% quarter-to-date, with a total Bitcoin gain of 2,684 BTC in Q2 2025, translating to a ¥40.54 billion gain.
Meanwhile, Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy, continues to lead as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, recently adding 705 BTC valued at $75 million, further solidifying its dominant position in the market. Saylor remains committed to ongoing Bitcoin accumulation, anticipating rising prices and increasing difficulty in acquiring Bitcoin, while highlighting the growing global adoption of Bitcoin treasury strategies across various regions.
This surge in corporate Bitcoin acquisitions reflects a broader trend of institutional confidence amid financial market uncertainties, with firms like Metaplanet and Strategy setting benchmarks for corporate Bitcoin treasury management worldwide.
