Metaplanet, a leading Tokyo-listed firm, has added 1,088 BTC to its reserves, pushing its total Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 BTC, worth approximately $930 million. The acquisition was made at an average price of 15.5 million yen per BTC (around $108,051) and cost the company 16.885 billion yen ($117.5 million).
This bold move follows Metaplanet’s issuance of $50 million in zero-interest bonds just last week, underscoring its aggressive push toward expanding its crypto treasury.
With this latest purchase, Metaplanet has now acquired 7,126 BTC in 2025 alone, significantly closing in on its stated year-end objective of 10,000 BTC. Since adopting its Bitcoin treasury strategy in April 2024, the company has quickly become Asiaโs largest public Bitcoin holder and one of the top 10 holders globally.
Inspired by MicroStrategyโs Crypto Playbook
CEO Simon Gerovich credits MicroStrategy and its executive chairman Michael Saylor as foundational influences on Metaplanet’s crypto treasury vision. Like MicroStrategy, Metaplanet sees Bitcoin as a strategic long-term asset capable of enhancing financial resilience in a volatile macroeconomic climate.
Their approach appears to be paying off. Shares of Metaplanet on the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose 2.34% today, reaching 1,094 yen by early afternoon. Over the past 12 months, the stock has skyrocketed more than 20x, according to Yahoo Finance. However, its U.S.-listed MTPLF shares closed down 7.64% on Friday, ending the session at $7.25.
A Growing Trend: Corporate Crypto Treasuries on the Rise
Metaplanetโs move mirrors a broader corporate trend. In addition to Twenty One, led by Jack Mallers, other companies are now exploring diversified crypto treasury strategies, accumulating not only Bitcoin but also Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and other digital assets.
Globally, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) remains the dominant force in corporate Bitcoin holdings, with a staggering 580,250 BTC in its reserves.
Bitcoin Price Stabilizes After Recent Highs
Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin is trading around $105,000, following a slight correction from its all-time high of $111,800 last week. The digital asset appears to be consolidating as investors digest recent market activity and corporate adoption news.
