#MetaplanetBTCPurchase Metaplanet, a former Japanese budget‑hotel operator, has made a bold pivot: transforming itself into a Bitcoin‑first public company. Since April 2024, it has aggressively acquired BTC, reaching 10,000 BTC on June 16, 2025—surpassing Coinbase to rank among the world’s top nine corporate holders . The acquisition—1,112 BTC (~¥16.9 billion/USD117 m at ~¥13.9 m per coin)—was funded via a $210 m zero‑interest bond issuance, targeting full deployment by December 2025 . Metaplanet’s broader strategic ambition is even grander: 100,000 BTC by end‑2026 and 210,000 BTC by end‑2027, backed by a $5.4 b financing plan via equity and warrants . Since the pivot, its stock has surged thousands of percent—underlining lofty investor optimism amid growing institutional BTC adoption.
