Metaplanet has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings, acquiring an additional 1,005 BTC for approximately $108.1 million, bringing its total stash to 13,350 BTC — now surpassing the reserves of both Galaxy Digital and CleanSpark.
The purchase was announced Monday by Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich, who shared that the company acquired the latest Bitcoin tranche at an average price of $107,601 per BTC. At current market rates, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings are valued at roughly $1.4 billion.
“Just three months ago, we announced live at our shareholder meeting that we hit 3,350 BTC — and now we’ve added 10,000 more to reach 13,350 BTC,” Gerovich said on X.
Now the Fifth-Largest Public Corporate Bitcoin Holder
According to BitcoinTreasuries.net, Metaplanet is now the fifth-largest publicly listed corporate holder of Bitcoin — overtaking:
- Galaxy Digital (12,830 BTC)
- CleanSpark (12,502 BTC)
These rankings are expected to be updated to reflect Metaplanet’s latest acquisition.
Earlier this month, Metaplanet set a bold new target: to accumulate over 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, signaling a long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
Strategic Bond Issuance Supports Expansion
To finance this aggressive accumulation strategy, Metaplanet also announced the issuance of zero-interest ordinary bonds worth 30 billion yen (approx. $208 million) with a maturity date of Dec. 29, 2025.
Part of the funds will be used to:
- Buy back and cancel a previously disclosed third bond series (issued Nov. 18, 2024)
- Purchase more Bitcoin
“Funds raised through the issuance of the new bonds will be partially allocated to the buyback and cancellation, with the remainder used for the purchase of Bitcoin,” the company said.
Market Reaction and Year-to-Date Stock Surge
Investors welcomed the news. Metaplanet’s stock jumped 9.9% on Monday morning in Japan and has gained 53.5% in the past month, with an astonishing 370.7% increase year-to-date, according to Yahoo Finance data.
MicroStrategy Still Reigns Supreme
Despite Metaplanet’s rapid ascent, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, continues to top the list of public corporate Bitcoin holders with 592,345 BTC, following its recent addition of 245 BTC last week.
Conclusion
Metaplanet’s continued Bitcoin accumulation marks a bold and aggressive strategy, positioning it among the most influential public companies in the digital asset space. With ambitious goals, strategic financing, and growing investor confidence, the firm is becoming a major player in the evolving crypto-corporate landscape.
