Japan’s Metaplanet has announced a major Bitcoin purchase of 1,088 BTC raising its total to an impressive 8,888 BTC worth $930 million. The latest acquisition cost 16.885 billion yen or $117.5 million with Bitcoin priced at 15.5 million yen per token or $108,051. This bold move comes just one week after the company issued $50 million in zero-interest bonds to support its crypto strategy.
Metaplanet is quickly closing in on its year-end goal of 10000 BTC. In 2025 alone the firm has added 7,126 BTC showing its strong commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury asset. Since adopting the Bitcoin strategy in April, 2024 Metaplanet has become Asia’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder and ranks among the top ten globally.
CEO Simon Gerovich credits MicroStrategy and its chairman Michael Saylor as key inspirations. Following Metaplanet’s lead more companies like Twenty One led by Jack Mallers are now building crypto-based treasuries using Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Solana.
