Key Takeaways:

  • Metaplanet now holds 17,132 BTC, valued at over $2 billion, with $1.7 billion invested.
  • It is the only non-US firm among the world’s top 10 corporate Bitcoin holders.
  • Its share price has increased over 500% in a year, driven by confidence in its Bitcoin-centric model.

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has once again expanded its Bitcoin reserves, purchasing an additional 780 BTC for roughly $92 million. This latest move pushes the company’s total holdings to 17,132 BTC, securing its spot among the top 10 corporate Bitcoin treasuries in the world—and the only one outside the United States.

$1.7 Billion in BTC: Metaplanet’s Bold Treasury Strategy

With an average purchase price of ¥17.52 million (about $118,145) per coin in the latest acquisition, Metaplanet’s total investment in Bitcoin has reached approximately $1.7 billion. The company has averaged a cost basis of $99,640 per BTC, indicating its aggressive yet calculated strategy in accumulating the asset.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $118,171, slightly above Metaplanet’s most recent average entry, suggesting the investment is already yielding gains.

Surging Ahead of Global Competitors

According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET, Metaplanet now ranks seventh globally in corporate Bitcoin ownership—just behind Trump Media & Technology Group and ahead of Galaxy Digital. This milestone cements its position as the largest non-US corporate Bitcoin holder, distinguishing itself in a list dominated by American firms like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which holds a staggering 607,770 BTC.

Metaplanet’s rise is also notable for its differentiated approach. While comparisons with Strategy are inevitable, CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that Metaplanet is “building a Japan-native model” focused on regulatory compliance and tax efficiency.
