Metaplanet, widely referred to as Japan’s MicroStrategy, has once again made headlines with its latest Bitcoin acquisition. The firm has purchased an additional 269.43 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 2,100 BTC in less than a year. This milestone means Metaplanet now holds 0.01% of Bitcoin’s total supply, a significant achievement for a company that only began accumulating BTC in April 2024.
Aggressive Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy
Earlier today, Metaplanet revealed its ambitious goal to expand its Bitcoin reserves tenfold by the end of 2026. The latest purchase of 68.59 BTC for $6.6 million at an average price of $96,335 per BTC underscores the company’s strategic buying approach—capitalizing on market dips before Bitcoin’s recovery to $97,000.
As of February 20, 2025, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin investment stands at $169.9 million, with an average acquisition price of $80,905 per BTC. The firm’s Bitcoin holdings have generated an 18% year-to-date (YTD) return in 2025, reinforcing its conviction that BTC is the ultimate scarce asset.
Securing Funds to Fuel Expansion
Metaplanet has successfully raised approximately $20 million in equity capital through its “21M Plan,” a strategy aimed at fortifying its Bitcoin reserves. According to Metaplanet Bitcoin Strategist Dylan LeClair, the firm is committed to further strengthening its BTC position.
Additionally, the company secured JPY 4 billion ($27 million) through 0% unsecured bonds, with funds earmarked for further Bitcoin purchases in 2026 and 2027. Metaplanet has already allocated over $700 million toward its mission of adding 21,000 BTC to its treasury by the end of 2026. Industry titan Michael Saylor has praised the company’s Bitcoin-centric approach, drawing parallels to MicroStrategy’s own BTC accumulation strategy.
