Metaplanet just snagged another massive Bitcoin haul, scooping up 797 BTC in July 2025 at a jaw-dropping ¥17.31 million (~$117,451) per coin. The Japanese corporate giant’s latest buying spree pushed its total holdings to 16,352 BTC, cementing its position as Asia’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Talk about going big or going home. The company maintains stakeholder transparency through regular financial disclosures.
Metaplanet flexes its crypto muscles again, dropping $93.7 million on Bitcoin and solidifying its dominance as Asia’s biggest corporate holder.
This comes hot on the heels of their June purchase of 1,005 BTC, which had already catapulted them past the 13,350 BTC mark. CEO Simon Gerovich highlighted the company’s rapid three-month growth from 3,350 BTC to current levels. Metaplanet‘s not exactly being subtle about their crypto ambitions – they’ve blown past Tesla, Galaxy Digital, and CleanSpark to claim the fifth spot globally among corporate Bitcoin holders. The company values Bitcoin’s fixed supply cap as a hedge against inflation.
The company’s not exactly pinching pennies to fund these purchases. They’ve issued zero-interest bonds worth $208 million and casually raised another $515 million through equity. The funding came through their “555 Million Plan,” which saw them issue 54 million new shares. EVO Fund, their primary backer, jumped in with 540,000 stock-acquisition rights. Because who doesn’t love a good zero-interest deal?
Their strategy? Go big. Really big. They’re targeting a whopping 210,000 BTC by 2027, with a pit stop at 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025. Remember when they had just 4,525 BTC back in April 2025? Those were cute times.
Metaplanet’s timing is… interesting. They’re buying at historic highs, with Bitcoin trading around $117,451. But hey, their stock price jumped 10% after their June announcement, so somebody’s impressed. The market’s dubbed them Asia’s emerging “crypto powerhouse,” and they’re not exactly being modest about it – they’re even the title sponsor of Bitcoin Asia 2025.
Their end game? They want to own 1% of all Bitcoin by 2027. Ambitious? Yes. Crazy? Maybe. But with their transparent acquisition strategy and mix of debt and equity funding, they’re making it happen. Whether buying at the peak will prove genius or foolish – well, that’s the billion-dollar question.
