Metaplanet Becomes Fifth-Largest Bitcoin Holder With $108M Purchase
Japanese Bitcoin treasury firm Metaplanet has overtaken Cleanspark to become the fifth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, after acquiring 1,005 BTC for $108 million in a single-day purchase.
With this latest buy, Metaplanet now holds 13,350 BTC, acquired for approximately $1.31 billion at an average price of $97,832 per coin. At current market prices, the company’s Bitcoin treasury is valued at around $1.45 billion.
The move pushes Metaplanet ahead of prominent firms like Tesla, Coinbase, Block Inc., and Hut 8, leaving only Strategy, Marathon Digital, Twenty One Capital, and Riot Platforms with larger corporate Bitcoin holdings.
Strategic Bond Issuance Fuels Bitcoin Buying Spree
Metaplanet’s latest purchase comes alongside the announcement of a bold bond refinancing strategy aimed at funding further Bitcoin acquisitions. The firm issued 30 billion yen ($208 million) in 0% interest bonds through its EVO fund to support its BTC accumulation.
A portion of the raised capital will be used to buy back and cancel 1.75 billion yen ($12 million) worth of previous bonds, which carried an annual interest rate of 0.36% — effectively allowing the firm to refinance at zero cost while increasing its purchasing power.
“Funds raised through the issuance of the new bonds will be partially allocated to the buyback and cancellation, with the remainder used for the purchase of Bitcoin,” the company stated.
Metaplanet has acquired 1,005 BTC for ~$108.1 million at ~$107,601 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 348.8% YTD 2025. As of 6/30/2025, we hold 13,350 $BTC acquired for ~$1.31 billion at ~$97,832 per bitcoin. $MTPLF pic.twitter.com/TdHEEjF5af

Ambitious Goal: 210,000 BTC by 2027
Earlier this month, Metaplanet updated its accumulation target, aiming to hold 100,000 BTC by 2026, a sharp increase from its previous goal of 21,000 BTC. The firm also announced plans to raise up to $5.4 billion and purchase 210,000 BTC by 2027, which could make it the second-largest Bitcoin-holding company globally — behind only Strategy.
Market Response and Stock Surge
Investors responded positively to the news. On Monday, Metaplanet’s stock surged 9% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The company’s share price has soared over 350% year-to-date, according to Google Finance, reflecting growing investor confidence in its Bitcoin-focused strategy.
Saylor and Gerovich Exchange Bullish Notes
In a symbolic exchange of support, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor posted his now-customary Sunday Bitcoin chart with the message:
“In 21 years, you’ll wish you’d bought more.”
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich responded:
“We buy every day. And still, I know I’ll look back wishing we had moved even faster.”
With BTC holdings and ambitions expanding at a breakneck pace, Metaplanet is quickly positioning itself as a major force in the corporate Bitcoin treasury race — and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
