Metaplanet has bolstered its treasury by acquiring an additional 1,234 Bitcoin, elevating its total holdings to 12,345 BTC. This move underlines the company’s commitment to a robust digital asset strategy.
The acquisition, revealed in a regulatory filing on Thursday, marks a significant shift towards Bitcoin as a central component of Metaplanet’s treasury management.
This latest purchase is part of a broader strategy that includes the company’s recently unveiled “555 Million Plan,” which aims to generate $5.4 billion with the goal of purchasing 210,000 Bitcoin by 2027. If successful, this would account for approximately 1% of Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million coins.

Metaplanet Steps Up Its Efforts to Secure 1% of Bitcoin’s Supply
On June 24, Metaplanet disclosed that it had raised over $517 million on the first day of its 555 Million Plan by issuing 54 million shares, a move enabled by the EVO Fund following a prior stock acquisition agreement.
According to Thursday’s filing, the company purchased Bitcoin at an approximate average price of ¥15,617,281 ($107,900) per coin.
This strategic purchase positions Metaplanet among the largest publicly traded corporate holders of Bitcoin in Asia, affirming its influence in the growing digital currency landscape.
The current valuation of the company’s Bitcoin holdings tops $1.3 billion, based on market trackers, situating its assets similarly to what Tesla had at its peak before selling part of its stake in 2022.
Metaplanet Emulates MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Strategy as Stock Prices Rise
This approach closely resembles the strategy employed by MicroStrategy, a US-based firm that has integrated Bitcoin accumulation into its long-term balance sheet strategies.
Like its American counterpart, Metaplanet has utilized equity-linked funding solutions to finance its Bitcoin purchases, appealing to investors seeking regulated exposure to cryptocurrency through stock markets.
Since announcing its pivot towards Bitcoin in April 2024, the company has witnessed a remarkable 500% surge in its stock price, attracting both retail and institutional investors drawn to the assets’ potential.
While specific timelines for future acquisitions remain undisclosed, the company has set an ambitious goal to accumulate over 200,000 BTC within the next three years.
Metaplanet has indicated that 96% of the proceeds from the 555 Million Plan will be directed towards Bitcoin acquisitions, with the remaining funds designated for bond redemptions and yield-generating strategies.
Through these significant investments, Metaplanet is increasingly aligning itself with the long-term narrative of Bitcoin as a safeguard against inflation and currency devaluation.
