Tokyo-based Metaplanet Inc. has announced another 1,088 BTC purchase, bringing its total holdings to an impressive 8,888 BTC, valued at over $930 million. Announced today, this move solidifies the firm’s position as Asia’s top corporate Bitcoin holder and a global leader in the crypto treasury race.
Metaplanet Boosts Stash to 8,888 BTC
Metaplanet’s latest $117.5 million purchase was funded through a mix of stock rights and zero-interest bond issuances, with the Cayman Islands-based Evo Fund as a key backer. The firm purchased all 1,088 BTC at an average price of $105,000 per coin. This brough its total BTC stash to 8,888 BTC, acquired at $829.7 million. This acquisition marks another step toward Metaplanet’s year-end goal of holding 10,000 BTC, with 7,126 BTC acquired in 2025 alone.
Since adopting Bitcoin as a core treasury asset in April 2024, Metaplanet has been relentless, making consistent purchases, including a notable 1,004 BTC buy in May 2025 for $104 million. The company’s Bitcoin Yield—a measure of Bitcoin holdings growth—hit 66.3% year-to-date in Q2 2025, showcasing its strong commitment to stacking sats.
Bitcoin Purchase on the Rise
Unlike many firms, Metaplanet’s precise acquisition of exactly 8,888 BTC—a number symbolizing prosperity in Japanese culture—suggests deliberate planning. Its use of zero-interest bonds and equity raises, including a recent $50 million bond issuance, sets it apart from traditional corporate treasuries.
The firm’s stock surged 2.62% to $7.25 following the purchase, reflecting investor enthusiasm amid Japan’s debt crisis, with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 235%.
Other firms are also jumping on the Bitcoin bandwagon. For example, on May 26, Strategy, in a recent press release, announced the latest addition of 4,020 bitcoins to the company’s portfolio.
The business intelligence firm spent about $427.1 million at an average price of $106,237 per coin. With this purchase, the company has further expanded its already massive holdings in the world’s biggest crypto asset.
According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin’s price as of today hovers around $104,000, with a market capitalization of $2.07 trillion. Its trading volume is $39.64 billion, showing the continued trading activity among users.
