Metaplanet's $61.4 million investment in Bitcoin boosts Bitcoin reserves to a staggering $1.85 billion!
Metaplanet Inc. Bolsters Bitcoin Holdings, Securing 7th Spot Among Global Leaders
Tokyo-based Metaplanet Inc. has continued its rapid accumulation streak of Bitcoin, solidifying its position as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally. On August 18, 2025, the company announced the purchase of 775 Bitcoin, raising its total holdings to a staggering 18,888 BTC.
The acquisition cost Metaplanet approximately 93 million dollars, with each Bitcoin purchased at an average price of $120,006. This strategic move has boosted the market value of Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings to approximately $2.2 billion.
Metaplanet's aggressive accumulation strategy began in December 2024, when Bitcoin was made a core business for the company. Since then, it has climbed up the ranks to become the 7th largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder worldwide.
The company's Bitcoin holdings now place it behind industry giants like MicroStrategy, which currently holds the title of the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder with a staggering 628,946 BTC.
Following the announcement, Metaplanet's stock saw a short-lived 1% rise to 997 yen, but later slipped to 980 yen and settled 2.69% lower at 975 yen by press time.
Analysts suggest that such concentrated corporate purchases reflect growing institutional conviction in Bitcoin. The value of Bitcoin itself dropped 2.44% over the past 24 hours to $119,092.10 according to CoinMarketCap.
Metaplanet's ambitious plans for further acquisitions are evident in its recent $3.7 billion stock raise. The company aims to follow in the footsteps of MicroStrategy, which has amassed a significant Bitcoin treasury.
According to BitcoinTreasuries data, Metaplanet now ranks sixth globally among public companies holding Bitcoin. This reflects Metaplanet’s commitment to expanding its Bitcoin reserves and its significant contribution to institutional Bitcoin adoption in Japan and globally.
