Tokyo-listed firm Metaplanet has recently taken another step to solidify its position as one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin in Asia. 

In a recent tweet, the President and the CEO of the publicly traded firm, Simon Gerovich, announced that the Japanese firm has made a significant addition to its Bitcoin reserves, acquiring 780 BTC worth approximately $92.5 million at an average price of $118,622 per coin.

Metaplanet’s latest strategic buy brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 17,132 BTC, valued at around $1.73 billion at a unit price of $101,030 per bitcoin.

Metaplanet Records Gains

According to Gerovich, the platform’s Bitcoin investment has generated an impressive return of 449.7% in 2025. The latest purchase also resulted in a 5% increase in the platform’s stock price.

The increase provided a much-needed boost and reversed some of the losses incurred over the past month, during which Metaplanet’s stock had declined 6.9% over the last five days and 16.7% over the past thirty days.

In September, Metaplanet also saw a notable 400%+ increase in its stock value after it added Bitcoin to its treasury reserve. By stacking up its Bitcoin holdings through a series of purchases, its stock value increased by 443.2%.

Metaplanet’s Push for 210,000 BTC by 2027

Since adopting a Bitcoin-focused strategy last year, the Japanese investment firm has strategically increased its BTC stash, aligning with its goal to hold over 210,000 BTC by 2027.

Metaplanet’s recent purchase is one of several this month. On July 7, the company purchased 2,205 BTC, valued at over $240.3 million. A few weeks later, it also bought another 2,205 BTC, worth over $240.3 million.

The company has funded its Bitcoin purchases through operating income and capital markets, including the issuance of stocks and bonds. In May, Metaplanet raised $24.7 million by selling bonds to EVO FUND as part of its 11th series. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds were used to fund its acquisition of Bitcoin.

The following month, the Japanese firm launched a $5.4 billion equity raise, known as the “555 Million Plan.”  The platform planned to issue 555 million shares through a unique financial instrument called moving strike warrants.
