Japan’s Metaplanet just made another power move, snapping up 1,088 more Bitcoin and bringing their stash to a cool 8,888 BTC, that’s about $930 million sitting pretty. This latest buy cost them 16.885 billion yen ($117.5 million), snagging Bitcoin at around 15.5 million yen each ($108,051 per token). Not too shabby.

This buy came right on the heels of Metaplanet issuing $50 million in zero-interest bonds last week, talk about playing it smart with the money moves. With this fresh batch, Metaplanet is inching ever closer to its ambitious year-end goal of 10,000 BTC. So far in 2025, they’ve already gobbled up 7,126 BTC like pros.
Since jumping on the Bitcoin treasury train back in April 2024, Metaplanet quickly flexed its muscles as Asia’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder and climbed into the top 10 worldwide. They’re following in the footsteps of the big boss, Strategy, who’s got a jaw-dropping 580,250 BTC in its vault.
CEO Simon Gerovich openly admits they took some cues from MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin game plan and their executive chairman, Michael Saylor, the OG corporate Bitcoin champion. Seems like great minds think alike when it comes to stacking sats.
Crypto Treasuries Heat Up as Metaplanet Leads Asia’s Charge
And Metaplanet isn’t the only one. Riding the coattails of Strategy and Metaplanet’s success, firms like Jack Mallers’ Twenty One have jumped on the crypto treasury bandwagon. Others are mixing it up by adding Ether, XRP, Solana, and other altcoins to their corporate piggy banks.
Over at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Metaplanet’s shares were looking happy, climbing to 1,1171 yen. That’s a wild twentyfold surge over the past year, per Yahoo Finance. Meanwhile, across the pond, their U.S. OTC stock (MTPLF) took a bit of a breather, closing down 7.64% to $7.25 last Friday.
On the Bitcoin price front, things are chilling around $104,000 after a recent peak near $111,800 last week, according to Hodlfm's Bitcoin price page. Looks like Bitcoin’s taking a breather before its next big move.
So, Metaplanet’s making serious waves, stacking Bitcoin like a champ, and proving Asia’s not just about sushi and tech, but also about serious crypto hustle.
