Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Bet: Japan’s Crypto Giant Closes in on 10,000 BTC with Bold Treasury Play

In a bold move that underscores its unwavering commitment to Bitcoin, Japan’s Metaplanet has acquired an additional 1,088 BTC, elevating its total holdings to 8,888 BTC—valued at approximately $930 million . This acquisition, costing around $117.5 million at an average price of $108,051 per coin, propels Metaplanet into the position of the eighth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, surpassing notable firms like Galaxy Digital and Block Inc.

Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy, initiated with the adoption of a Bitcoin treasury policy in April 2024, has seen the company add 7,126 BTC in 2025 alone, pacing toward its ambitious year-end target of 10,000 BTC . This approach mirrors that of MicroStrategy, with Metaplanet’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, acknowledging Michael Saylor’s influence on their Bitcoin-centric strategy.

To finance these substantial purchases without diluting shareholder equity, Metaplanet has issued zero-interest bonds, raising $50 million last week, followed by an additional $21 million a day later . These bonds, subscribed solely by the Cayman Islands-based Evo Fund, are unsecured and carry no interest, reflecting a high degree of trust between the entities.

The company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy has yielded significant returns, with a reported BTC Yield of 66.3% year-to-date and a BTC Gain of 2,684 BTC, translating to approximately ¥40.5 billion . This performance has also positively impacted Metaplanet’s stock, which has surged over 5,000% since April 2024.

Metaplanet’s deliberate accumulation of 8,888 BTC—a number considered auspicious in Japanese culture—signals not just a strategic investment but also a symbolic commitment to Bitcoin’s potential . As Bitcoin continues to hover around $105,000, Metaplanet’s actions exemplify a growing trend among corporations to embrace digital assets as a cornerstone of their financial strategies.
