“As of 4/14/2025, we hold 4525 BTC acquired for $386.3 million at $85,366 per Bitcoin,” Gerovich noted.
This aggressive strategy has elevated Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin reserves to 4,525 BTC. The Tokyo-listed company recently made headlines with the acquisition of an additional 160 BTC, funded by the issuance of zero-interest ordinary bonds worth around $13.3 million, specifically aimed at bolstering its cryptocurrency assets.
Corporate Adoption of Bitcoin is “Accelerating”
Dom Harz, co-founder of BOB (“Build on Bitcoin”), remarked on a shift in corporate attitudes towards Bitcoin, transitioning from a speculative asset to a strategic investment. “As corporations start to hold more Bitcoin, they’ll integrate digital assets into their core operations,” he explained in an interview with Finance Newso.
Harz further emphasized the importance of understanding yield-generating mechanisms that align with Bitcoin’s security features, indicating that institutional interest will grow swiftly as these opportunities become apparent.
From a corporate perspective, he noted that holding Bitcoin can provide a “passive yield on their assets,” enabling companies to diversify away from traditional investment strategies. Metaplanet’s ongoing acquisition of BTC aligns with its ambitious goal to increase its holdings by 470%, targeting a total of 10,000 BTC within this year.
BTC Fluctuates as Digital Assets Falter Under Geopolitical Pressure
These latest acquisitions by Metaplanet occur against a backdrop of increasing concern regarding U.S. trade tariffs. Recently, Bitcoin experienced a decline of over 2%, falling to $83,482, according to Coin Market Cap data, although it has since rebounded slightly to $84,469.
The company’s approach mirrors the strategy of Michael Saylor, whose aggressive Bitcoin buying has spurred many other corporations to consider similar approaches.
In a strategic move, Metaplanet appointed Eric Trump to its newly established Strategic Advisory Board, recognizing him as a prominent advocate for the global adoption of digital assets.
