In a bullish display of crypto conviction, Metaplanet has expanded its substantial Bitcoin treasury with the acquisition of 1,004 additional coins, valued at approximately $104 million at an average price of $104,180 per Bitcoin.
This latest purchase, executed on May 19, 2025, catapults the company’s total holdings to an impressive 7,800 Bitcoin—currently valued north of $800 million at prevailing market rates.
The acquisition solidifies Metaplanet’s position as Asia’s preeminent corporate Bitcoin holder and propels the firm to 10th place globally among public companies investing in the cryptocurrency.
Significantly, the company’s Bitcoin reserves now exceed those of El Salvador’s state treasury, marking a curious inflection point where corporate balance sheets outweigh sovereign holdings in the digital asset space. This strategic accumulation has become a cornerstone of Metaplanet’s approach to boosting shareholder value.
This purchase continues Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy, following a substantial acquisition of 1,241 Bitcoin just one week prior.
The company’s voracious appetite for Bitcoin has been evident throughout 2025, with 794 coins added in April and 1,655 in March—suggesting an acceleration rather than satiation of its purchasing program. Metaplanet has now achieved 78% progress toward its ambitious 10,000 BTC target by year-end.
Financial tailwinds appear to validate this strategy; Metaplanet reported record-breaking revenue for Q1 2025, with its Bitcoin investments yielding a remarkable 95.6% return.
The second quarter performance (currently tracking at 47.8%) continues to bolster shareholder value despite Bitcoin’s notorious volatility. The company has implemented robust cold storage solutions to secure their substantial holdings, mitigating risks of theft that have plagued less cautious investors.
With Galaxy Digital Holdings’ 8,100 Bitcoin reserves just 301 coins away, Metaplanet appears poised to climb further up the corporate Bitcoin leaderboard.
The company has publicly targeted holdings of 10,000 Bitcoin by year’s end and is raising $21 million through bonds to fuel additional purchases.
While still dwarfed by Michael Saylor’s staggering 568,840 Bitcoin treasury (a position accumulated with almost religious fervor), Metaplanet’s continued investments reflect broadening institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset—a notion that would have seemed absurd to financial orthodoxy merely five years ago.
