- Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings grow significantly.
- Surpasses Coinbase in BTC assets.
- Stock rises 22% following announcement.
Metaplanet, a publicly-listed investment company in Japan, recently purchased 1,112 Bitcoin, increasing its total Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC as of June 16, 2025.
Metaplanet’s substantial Bitcoin purchase emphasizes the firm’s strategic shift towards a Bitcoin-centric treasury, aiming for ambitious future accumulation goals.
Leading this financial move, CEO Simon Gerovich announced the addition of 1,112 BTC, bringing Metaplanet’s total to 10,000 BTC. This purchase reflects the company’s Bitcoin-centric treasury strategy and compares their
approach to MicroStrategy‘s similar initiatives.
The purchase worth $117.2 million was financed through the issuance of $210 million in no-interest bonds. The stock market responded positively, with Metaplanet’s stock increasing by 22% after the announcement.
Following the acquisition, Metaplanet has become the seventh-largest public company holding Bitcoin, surpassing Coinbase. This transaction demonstrates strong market confidence in its strategy, reflected by the stock surge and a month’s gain of 193%.
The purchase exhibits Metaplanet’s clear focus on Bitcoin, without engaging in altcoins or DeFi projects. As Simon Gerovich noted, “Surpassing Coinbase not only strengthens our position but reinforces our vision for the future of corporate treasury management.”
The firm aims to reach 100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. This aggressive target reflects its commitment and hints at future growth prospects in institutional Bitcoin holdings.
Analysts predict the continued increase in Bitcoin acquisitions by corporations may lead to elevated on-chain metrics. This strategic purchase strengthens Bitcoin’s status as a viable corporate reserve asset, potentially influencing emerging regulatory frameworks globally.
