Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin treasury with the purchase of another 1,009 BTC, valued at approximately $110 million. This latest acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 20,000 BTC, now worth around $2.15 billion.
The purchase was made at an average price of about $111,000 per Bitcoin, further strengthening Metaplanet’s position as one of the world’s largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency. The company now ranks among the top ten globally, sitting in sixth place overall.
Metaplanet has ambitious targets for the future, aiming to accumulate 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and setting a long-term goal of 210,000 BTC—roughly one percent of the total Bitcoin supply—by 2027.
To fund its aggressive expansion, the company has relied on issuing new shares, redeeming bonds, and exploring larger capital-raising initiatives. Plans are underway to secure hundreds of billions of yen in funding, some of which will be allocated directly to Bitcoin purchases.
The company’s rapid accumulation strategy has drawn attention across global markets. While its Bitcoin reserves have surged, Metaplanet’s share price has faced volatility, declining more than 50% since June. Investors remain divided—some see the firm’s strategy as visionary, while others warn of the risks tied to heavy reliance on the cryptocurrency’s performance.
Despite the challenges, Metaplanet’s transformation from a traditional hospitality business into a major Bitcoin treasury powerhouse underscores a growing trend of corporations adopting digital assets as a key part of their balance sheets.
