Metaplanet remains committed to its Bitcoin goal, adding 145 BTC to its treasury, reaching a hefty 5,000 BTC total. This bold $13.6 million move signals strong confidence in Bitcoin’s future and has placed the company as Asia’s top corporate Bitcoin holder.
Metaplanet Reaches 5,000 BTC Holdings
Tokyo-based investment company announced today that it has acquired 145 additional Bitcoins for approximately $13.6 million, with an average price of $93,327 per coin. The purchase, disclosed by CEO Simon Gerovich, is part of the firm’s ongoing strategy to build a robust Bitcoin treasury.
The latest acquisition pushed Metaplanet’s total holdings to 5,000 BTC, valued at roughly $428.1 million, with an average purchase price of $85,621 per coin. The company reported a Bitcoin Yield—a measure of Bitcoin growth relative to shares—of 121.1% year-to-date in 2025, showcasing the success of its crypto-focused approach.
Metaplanet funded this purchase through a mix of direct buys and capital market activities, including issuing bonds, a tactic it has used before to avoid excessive share dilution. The move marks the firm’s third significant Bitcoin purchase this month, despite market uncertainties tied to global trade tensions.
A Trend of Corporate BTC Accumulation
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy follows that of other corporations, earning it the nickname “Asia’s MicroStrategy.” Earlier in April, the firm bought 330 BTC for $28.2 million and 319 BTC for $26.3 million, bringing its holdings from 4,206 BTC to 5,000 BTC in weeks. Since starting its Bitcoin accumulation in April 2024, Metaplanet has spent over $448 million, aiming for 10,000 BTC by year-end and 21,000 by 2026.
This approach draws inspiration from U.S. firms like Strategy, which holds vast Bitcoin reserves, and MARA Holdings, both of which have seen stock price surges from their crypto bets. Other players, like Semler Scientific, recently raised $500 million partly for Bitcoin purchases, while Tether expanded its reserves in Q1 2025.
As global interest in corporate Bitcoin treasuries grows, Metaplanet’s latest purchase places it among the top 10 public Bitcoin holders worldwide.
