Japanese hospitality firm Metaplanet has officially joined the ranks of major Bitcoin holders, overtaking Coinbase after a bold acquisition strategy pushed its BTC holdings to 10,000.
Aggressive Accumulation Pushes Metaplanet Into the Global Spotlight
Tokyo-based Metaplanet has acquired an additional 1,112 BTC for $117.2 million, bringing its total Bitcoin stash to a staggering 10,000 BTC. Purchased at an average price of $105,435 per coin, the latest investment brings the firm’s total BTC holdings to approximately $947 million. With this move, Metaplanet has overtaken Coinbase to become the ninth-largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin.
The firm’s aggressive strategy is part of a broader trend of institutional Bitcoin adoption. Over 150 publicly listed companies globally now collectively hold more than $100 billion in BTC, signaling a deepening commitment to crypto as a corporate treasury asset.
Soaring Market Cap Reflects Bitcoin Strategy Success
Metaplanet’s stock has seen explosive growth in tandem with its Bitcoin accumulation. The company’s market value surpassed ¥1 trillion (around $6.9 billion) on Monday, with shares surging 26% in a single day. Over the past year, Metaplanet’s stock has soared by more than 2,000%, outperforming major Japanese firms including chipmaker Kioxia Holdings.
The firm’s Bitcoin yield—measuring growth in BTC holdings relative to fully diluted shares—has also been notable. It registered 41.7% in Q3 2024, an astonishing 309.8% in Q4 2024, followed by 95.6% in Q1 2025, and 87.2% so far in Q2 2025.

Zero-Interest Bonds Fuel Further BTC Expansion
To continue expanding its BTC reserves, Metaplanet recently issued $210 million in zero-percent ordinary bonds. This move underscores the company’s commitment to Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and strategic financial asset.
With Bitcoin trading at $107,032 at press time—up 1.8% in 24 hours—Metaplanet’s latest acquisition signals strong corporate confidence in BTC’s potential. As institutional adoption ramps up, Metaplanet’s rise may inspire other global firms to follow suit.
