This move allowed the company to surpass giants like CleanSpark (12,502 BTC) and Galaxy Digital (12,830 BTC), solidifying its position among the leaders. According to CEO Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet increased its Bitcoin reserves by 10,000 BTC in three months, achieving an asset value of $1.31 billion with an average purchase price of $97,832 per coin.
