Japanese tech investment firm Metaplanet has ramped up its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, adding 1,111 BTC on Monday, June 23. This latest purchase brings its total BTC holdings to 11,111 BTC, positioning it as the eighth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, surpassing Canadian miner Hut8.
The newly acquired Bitcoins, worth approximately $118.2 million, raise Metaplanet’s total BTC investment to roughly $1.07 billion with an average purchase price of $95,869 per BTC. Since early 2025, the firm’s holdings have grown more than 10x, achieving an impressive 306.7% year-to-date BTC yield.
Aggressive BTC Accumulation Targets 210,000 BTC
Metaplanet’s acquisition comes on the heels of completing the 20th to 22nd Series of Stock Acquisition Rights with EVO FUND, generating over JPY 558.7 million in funding. The company has publicly committed to raising $5.4 billion to amass 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply (210,000 BTC) by the end of 2027.
This buying spree has attracted significant institutional interest, with major players like Capital Group and Citigroup recently increasing their stakes in MTPLF shares.
