One of the Largest BTC Purchases
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has acquired an additional 1,004 Bitcoin (BTC) for $104.3 million, raising its total treasury holdings to 7,800 BTC. The purchase, made at an average price of $103,873 per coin, demonstrates the company’s continued confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
Metaplanet, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, is financing its Bitcoin accumulation through bond issuance. This week, it completed its 15th round of bond sales, raising $15 million. The company aims to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
Notably, the $104.3 million purchase on May 19, 2025, ranks among Metaplanet’s largest BTC acquisitions this year.
Currently, Metaplanet’s total investment in Bitcoin stands at approximately $712.5 million. Meanwhile, the market value of its holdings has risen to around $806 million, reflecting notable gains amid Bitcoin’s recent rally.

Accumulation and Funding Strategy
Metaplanet began building its Bitcoin reserves in April 2024 as part of a dedicated crypto treasury strategy modeled after Strategy’s (MSTR) approach. The company has set a bold target of reaching 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
To finance these acquisitions, Metaplanet continues to issue corporate bonds. Its latest offering—Series 15—raised $15 million. This funding model has helped position Metaplanet as Asia’s largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder and the 11th-largest globally.
For context, Strategy (MSTR) remains the leading corporate holder with 568,840 BTC, while Galaxy Digital holds 8,100 BTC. Metaplanet would need just 301 more BTC to surpass Galaxy Digital in the global rankings.

Financial Returns and Outlook
According to a recent report, Metaplanet posted record revenue in Q1 202, driven by its Bitcoin strategy. Profits from digital asset operations accounted for 88% of the company’s income, 877 million yen ($6 million). The firm’s BTC Yield, which measures the change in Bitcoin holdings per share, reached 95.6% in Q1 and 47.8% in Q2.
Our results speak for themselves: we don’t set targets to feel safe—we set them to exceed them, quarter after quarter. The global feedback loop between capital markets and Bitcoin is just beginning. Metaplanet intends to be its premier conduit,
