Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made headlines with its recent acquisition of 1,005 Bitcoin, securing its position as the fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. This latest purchase brings its total Bitcoin holdings to 13,350 BTC, with an aggregate investment of approximately $1.4 billion at current market prices.
Having surpassed Tesla in corporate Bitcoin holdings last week, Metaplanet has now edged out notable competitors such as Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital, which holds 12,830 BTC, and the mining firm CleanSpark, which possesses 12,502 BTC.

Metaplanet’s approach to Bitcoin is characterized by assertiveness and clarity. The recent acquisition is part of a broader, high-profile Bitcoin investment strategy that has evolved significantly over recent months. Just in mid-April 2025, the firm boasted total Bitcoin holdings of 4,525 BTC, marking its entry into the top tier of public companies holding Bitcoin.
Additionally, Metaplanet announced a new initiative on Monday to issue 30 billion JPY (approximately $208 million) in zero-interest ordinary bonds, with the proceeds designated for further Bitcoin purchases.

Metaplanet is dedicated to establishing a significant Bitcoin treasury, viewing the cryptocurrency not merely as a financial asset but as a strategic safeguard against inflation and currency devaluation. This aligns with strategies being adopted by influential global economic players.
The firm initially set a goal to acquire 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, a milestone it reached earlier on June 16. Originally planning to amass 21,000 BTC by 2026, Metaplanet later revised its strategy and launched its extensive “555 Million Plan,” aiming to secure $5.4 billion to buy up to 210,000 BTC by 2027.
