On May 19, 2025, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced the purchase of 1,004 more Bitcoin (BTC). The deal, worth roughly $104.3 million, marks the company’s second-largest single-day BTC acquisition to date.
This brings Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to 7,800 BTC, currently valued at over $800 million. The firm has acquired its Bitcoin at an average price of $91,300 per BTC.
Aiming for 10,000 BTC by Year-End
Metaplanet isn’t slowing down. This purchase is part of a broader strategy to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. The company has used a mix of bond sales and equity offerings to fund its growing crypto treasury.
By leveraging traditional finance tools to buy Bitcoin, Metaplanet is blending conservative fundraising with aggressive digital asset accumulation.
Market Reacts Positively
Following the news, Metaplanet’s stock jumped 15% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The rally reflects investor confidence in the company’s Bitcoin-centric vision.
So far in 2025, Metaplanet has delivered a BTC yield of 189.1%, outperforming most corporate strategies in the crypto space.
Now the Top BTC Holder in Asia
This recent purchase puts Metaplanet in the spotlight. It is now the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia and ranks tenth globally, surpassing even El Salvador’s national holdings.
As Bitcoin adoption among institutions grows, Metaplanet’s bold moves may set the pace for other Asian companies looking to diversify their balance sheets with crypto assets.
