Metaplanet Buys 1,241 BTC Worth $125.3 Million

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet Inc scoops up another 1,241 BTC worth roughly $125.3 million adding to its already impressive stack and reinforcing its role as Asia’s largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder.

The purchase, announced via a public filing on May 12, was made at an average price of around ¥14.85 million or approximately $95,700 per BTC, bringing Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to 6,796 BTC — currently valued at over $613 million.

Metaplanet Bitcoin Strategy

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin buying strategy is aggressive, calculated, and clearly paying off. With this latest acquisition, the firm is now 68% of the way toward its 2025 goal of holding 10,000 BTC, with a longer-term vision to accumulate 21,000 BTC — about 1% of Bitcoin's total supply.

To fuel its Bitcoin ambitions, the company has been issuing bonds and stock acquisition rights, effectively leveraging traditional financial tools to load up on digital gold. The pace of buying has drawn natural comparisons to U.S.-based Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), though Metaplanet is moving faster in terms of performance metrics.

BTC Yield: A New Benchmark for Corporate Accumulation

One standout metric Metaplanet has introduced to the space is BTC Yield — which measures how much Bitcoin the company holds per fully diluted share over time.

Here’s how it’s tracking: Q3 2024: 41.7%, Q4 2024: 309.8%, Q1 2025: 95.6% and Q2 2025 (so far): 38%

That level of acceleration prompted Back to suggest the company’s stock could climb from 533 yen to 1,340 yen, based on its current trajectory.

A Global Bitcoin Force in the Making

Metaplanet’s ambitions don’t stop at Tokyo. The firm recently announced plans to launch a subsidiary in Miami, signaling its intent to become a more global player in the Bitcoin treasury space. The move could help the company tap into U.S. capital markets while further legitimizing its crypto-centric business model on the international stage.

While Metaplanet still holds just a fraction of Strategy’s 200,000+ BTC, its pace and innovation are unmatched right now. It’s not just stacking sats — it’s restructuring its entire corporate identity around Bitcoin, with a performance strategy that’s catching the eyes of both traditional investors and the crypto crowd.

With nearly 7,000 BTC in its vault, and over ¥90 billion (~$583M) invested so far, Metaplanet is quickly becoming the most important Bitcoin company in Asia — and possibly, the next major influence on how public firms approach treasury management in the digital age.
