Tokyo-based financial firm Metaplanet has taken another decisive leap in its Bitcoin journey, acquiring 2,205 BTC worth approximately $237.9 million (34.49 billion yen). The latest buy pushes its total Bitcoin stash to an impressive 15,555 BTC, obtained at an average price of around ¥15.64 million ($107,800) per coin.
This move represents Metaplanet’s largest single-day BTC acquisition since the company adopted its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
The fresh purchase was financed through a familiar model: a combination of bond offerings and stock warrant executions. Just before this transaction, Metaplanet redeemed ¥6 billion in bonds originally issued in late June—capital that was generated via recently exercised warrants.
Staying true to its treasury playbook, the firm has continued raising funds and instantly converting them into Bitcoin, solidifying its role as a serious long-term BTC holder.
$1.6 Billion Invested and Counting: The Path to 210,000 BTC
Since launching its Bitcoin strategy, Metaplanet has invested a staggering ¥225.8 billion ($1.6 billion) into Bitcoin at an average cost of ¥14.5 million per BTC.
The company has set bold milestones:
-
30,000 BTC by the end of 2025
-
100,000 BTC by 2026
-
210,000 BTC by 2027
If achieved, this would make Metaplanet the holder of 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply, a monumental status in the crypto world.
Climbing the Ranks: Closing in on Riot Platforms
With this latest purchase, Metaplanet has officially surpassed major players like Tesla and Coinbase, securing a place among the top five corporate Bitcoin holders.
According to data from BitcoinTreasuries, the firm is now fewer than 4,000 BTC behind Riot Platforms, which currently owns 19,225 BTC. At its current acquisition pace, Metaplanet is on track to claim the #4 spot in the near future.
Q2 Performance Soars: 129.4% BTC Yield Reported
Metaplanet’s bold BTC strategy appears to be paying off handsomely. In Q2 alone, the firm gained 5,237 BTC, valued at around ¥82.5 billion ($513 million). In just the first week of July, it added another 2,017 BTC, worth approximately ¥31.8 billion ($198 million).
As a result, the company reported a 129.4% BTC yield in Q2, with a further 15.1% increase in early July. The returns showcase the power of Metaplanet’s compounding strategy and signal strong momentum heading into the second half of the year.
