Japan's Metaplanet Buys 780 More Bitcoin, Pushing Holdings Past 17,000 BTC Worth Over $2 Billion
Japanese firm surpasses Galaxy Digital with bold BTC purchases

Japanese investment company Metaplanet has added 780 Bitcoin to its treasury, raising its total holdings to 17,132 BTC—now valued at more than $2 billion. This aggressive crypto accumulation places Metaplanet as the only non-U.S. company in the top 10 global Bitcoin holders and ranks it seventh overall.
The latest purchase cost approximately $92 million, with an average price of $118,145 per BTC. Metaplanet has now spent roughly $1.7 billion on Bitcoin at an average acquisition cost of $99,640 per coin. With Bitcoin trading slightly above their latest buy-in price at $118,171, the company’s bet remains well-timed.
This move places Metaplanet ahead of Galaxy Digital’s 12,830 BTC and just behind Trump Media & Technology Group’s 18,430 BTC. However, MicroStrategy remains the leader with over 607,000 BTC—valued above $72 billion.
Metaplanet’s strategy isn’t just about stacking coins. CEO Simon Gerovich revealed plans to use Bitcoin reserves to acquire revenue-generating businesses, including potentially a digital bank in Japan. He emphasized their approach is uniquely suited for Japan’s regulatory and financial environment.
The company’s Bitcoin-first model has paid off in the equity markets too. Its stock has skyrocketed 517% over the past year and 246% year-to-date. Shares rose 5% in a single day, trading at $8.36, with a market cap now topping ¥1 trillion.
Metaplanet’s rise signals a growing appetite for Bitcoin treasury strategies outside the U.S., and positions the firm as a potential blueprint for crypto-aligned public companies in Asia and beyond.
