Metaplanet Goes All-In: Japan's Top Corporate Bitcoin Holder Unleashes Another Mega Buy

Tokyo-Based Firm Snags 797 More BTC, Pushes Total Holdings to 16,352

Holy crypto, Batman! Japan's leading corporate Bitcoin hoarder, Metaplanet, just flexed its financial muscles with a jaw-dropping acquisition. On July 14, 2025, these Tokyo titans announced they've scooped up an extra 797 Bitcoin (BTC) for a cool $93.6 million. That's right, they bought in at a sizzling average of $117,451 per coin, doubling down on their Bitcoin-centric treasury strategy like there's no tomorrow.

With this latest move, Metaplanet's total Bitcoin stash now stands at a whopping 16,352 BTC, costing them around $1.64 billion at an average buy-in of $100,191 per bitcoin. CEO Simon Gerovich is over the moon, boasting a mind-blowing 435.9% BTC yield so far in 2025. Talk about a crypto jackpot!

Metaplanet's tweet sums it up: "Metaplanet has acquired 797 BTC for ~$93.6 million at ~$117,451 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 435.9% YTD 2025. As of 7/14/2025, we hold 16,352 $BTC acquired for ~$1.64 billion at ~$100,191 per bitcoin."

This 797 BTC purchase is just the latest in a buying spree that's seen the firm snap up $238 million worth of Bitcoin last week alone. CEO Gerovich is on a mission, folks, and he's not stopping until they've accumulated as much BTC as humanly possible. "We need to accumulate as much bitcoin as we can to reach escape velocity," he declared. "Once we're there, it'll be nearly impossible for others to catch up!"

But what's the endgame? Once the accumulation phase is done, Metaplanet plans to use its BTC reserves as collateral to raise capital and snap up profitable, cash-flowing businesses that align with their mission. It's a two-stage strategy that's got everyone talking.

And boy, is it working! Metaplanet's stock is on fire, making it one of Japan's top performers this year. They're outpacing giants like Toyota and Sony, and their rising valuation has put them on the global map. It's a far cry from their days as a struggling hotel management firm.

But don't get too comfy, Metaplanet. Their current stash is still a drop in the bucket compared to their long-term goal. Sitting pretty as the fifth largest corporate Bitcoin holder, they're gunning for 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026, and a staggering 1% of Bitcoin's total circulating supply by 2027. Buckle up, crypto world!

And let's not forget the elephant in the room: Bitcoin itself. The king of crypto has been on an absolute tear, setting new all-time highs and trading just above $122,000 as we speak. The future's looking bright for Metaplanet and their Bitcoin dreams!
