Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made headlines again by purchasing an additional $126.7 million worth of Bitcoin, strengthening its position as a major player in corporate crypto investment. With this latest acquisition of 1,241 BTC at an average price of $102,119 per coin, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings have now reached 6,796 BTC, officially surpassing the reserves held by El Salvador.
Metaplanet’s Strategic Push Toward 10,000 BTC
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich announced the update via X (formerly Twitter), revealing that the company now holds approximately $706.7 million in Bitcoin based on current market prices. This is part of a broader strategic vision, with the company aiming to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
Since launching its Bitcoin strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has used bond issuances to finance its acquisitions, showing a deliberate and structured approach to crypto accumulation. This move reflects a growing trend among corporations using digital assets as long-term treasury investments.
Asia’s Largest Public Bitcoin Holder and Global Impact
Metaplanet now holds the title of Asia’s largest publicly listed corporate Bitcoin holder, and globally, it ranks 11th among companies with the most BTC on their balance sheets. The company’s aggressive stance on Bitcoin investment showcases a significant shift in how traditional financial firms are adapting to decentralized assets.
The firm’s strategy not only challenges conventional finance but also signals a shift in global influence from governments to corporations in the race for digital asset dominance. As Metaplanet continues expanding its Bitcoin holdings, it sets a strong example of how traditional investment firms can innovate and lead in the crypto economy.
