27-6-2025 – Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet has significantly bolstered its Bitcoin portfolio with the acquisition of 1,234 BTC, valued at a staggering $132.7 million. This strategic move elevates the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 12,345 BTC, propelling it past electric vehicle giant Tesla, which holds 11,509 BTC, in the global rankings of corporate cryptocurrency ownership, as verified by data from bitcointreasuries.net.
Metaplanet’s ambitious foray into Bitcoin, which commenced in April 2024, has now positioned it as the seventh-largest publicly traded corporate holder of the cryptocurrency, with its treasury valued at approximately $1.3 billion at current market rates. The firm’s relentless pursuit of digital assets is underpinned by a recently secured 74.9 billion yen ($515 million) through a stock issuance, forming part of a broader $555 million initiative to amass 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply by the close of 2027.
This long-term vision, recently recalibrated, aims to see Metaplanet hold over 210,000 BTC, placing it among the foremost institutional players in the cryptocurrency arena. The company’s strategy echoes that of other corporate heavyweights, such as MicroStrategy, which this week augmented its own Bitcoin reserves by 245 BTC, bringing its total to 592,345 BTC. Yet, despite Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation, its stock has faced turbulence, slipping 0.94% on Thursday at midday in Japan and recording a 12.2% decline over the past five days. Nevertheless, the firm’s shares have soared by an extraordinary 353.5% year-to-date, a testament to the market’s robust faith in its cryptocurrency-driven trajectory.
