Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made its second-largest Bitcoin acquisition, purchasing 1,004 BTC for approximately $104.3 million. This acquisition increases its total holdings to 7,800 BTC, valued at over $806 million at current market prices. The average purchase price for this latest tranche was $103,873 per Bitcoin.
This move aligns with Metaplanet’s long-term strategy to accumulate Bitcoin as a treasury asset. The company aims to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. To finance these acquisitions, Metaplanet has utilized bond sales, including its 15th ordinary bond issuance worth $15 million.
Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy has positioned it as the largest public Bitcoin holder in Asia and the tenth-largest globally among public companies. The firm’s approach mirrors that of MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, which holds over 555,000 BTC. Metaplanet’s BTC yield, a metric measuring Bitcoin accumulation per share, reached 95.6% in Q1 2025 and 47.8% in Q2 2025.
The company’s latest acquisition comes as Bitcoin approaches its all-time high, trading around $103,343. The broader crypto market has experienced a rally, driven by improving macroeconomic sentiment.
Metaplanet’s strategic focus on Bitcoin accumulation underscores its commitment to positioning itself as a significant player in the cryptocurrency space. As the company continues to expand its holdings, it may influence broader market trends and contribute to the growing institutional adoption of digital assets.
