Japan’s Bitcoin juggernaut climbs to global top 10 with $800M in BTC, eyeing 10K BTC goal by 2025.
Key Highlights:
- Metaplanet has acquired 1,004 more Bitcoin at an average price of $104,180, bringing its total holdings to 7,800 BTC.
- The purchase follows a record Q1 2025, with Bitcoin-related gains driving an 88% revenue surge and catapulting the firm ahead of El Salvador’s national BTC treasury.
Yello ParadiseSquad, while others are waiting for dips, Metaplanet is stacking like it’s 2021 all over again.
The Tokyo-based public company has just bought another 1,004 BTC worth over $104 million, bringing its total Bitcoin treasury to a staggering 7,800 BTC, valued at more than $800 million.
And they’re not slowing down. With this latest buy, Metaplanet now ranks 10th globally among public companies for BTC holdings, leapfrogging El Salvador, whose national stash currently sits at 6,181 BTC. Who needs sovereign status when you’ve got this kind of conviction?
The average buy price for the new batch? ¥15,134,304 per Bitcoin—or about $104,180. Not exactly bargain bin prices, but clearly, Metaplanet’s not here to time the market. They’re here to own it.
A Bitcoin Balance Sheet That Breaks Records
This aggressive acquisition comes hot on the heels of a record-breaking Q1 earnings report, with the company pulling in ¥877 million (approx. $6 million)—an 88% revenue jump. And no surprise here: Bitcoin drove most of the action, contributing nearly 170% in BTC yield and a gain of 2,996 BTC as of May 12.
In its own words, Metaplanet says it’s not setting targets to feel safe—it’s setting them to crush them. The next milestone? 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. That would firmly entrench the company in the upper tier of the Bitcoin treasury leaderboard, following in the footsteps of Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which still dominates the field with over 568,840 BTC.
The Asia-First BTC Strategy That’s Actually Working
Metaplanet isn’t just Asia’s biggest corporate Bitcoin holder—it’s Japan’s only regulated public company offering direct BTC exposure. And that positioning is turning heads. While other firms flirt with ETFs or hold crypto via funds, Metaplanet is going full sovereign-stack mode—on the open market, under public scrutiny, and with strong returns to back it up.
