Doubling down amid market turbulence, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has scooped up another 162 Bitcoin for a cool $13.5 million. The Tokyo-based company paid an average of $83,123 per coin, pushing their total holdings to 3,050 BTC worth a staggering $249.4 million. Talk about commitment.
While others flee market chaos, Metaplanet doubles down with another 162 Bitcoin—proving their $249.4 million bet isn’t just talk.
Listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as 3350.T, Metaplanet isn’t playing small ball. They’re gunning for 10,000 BTC by 2025 and 21,000 by 2026. Ambitious? You bet. Impossible? We’ll see.
The firm’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy mirrors Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy playbook. But with a Japanese twist. Metaplanet raised a jaw-dropping $745 million through zero-discount moving strike warrants—the largest-ever raise in Asia specifically for Bitcoin purchases. Not too shabby.
Their BTC yield performance hit 53.2% in 2025, crushing their quarterly target of 35%. They calculate this yield as the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings ratio against fully diluted shares outstanding. This impressive performance comes just a week after their 497 BTC acquisition for $43.9 million. Fancy metrics aside, they’re clearly making bank on their Bitcoin bet. This type of accumulation strategy reflects intense bullish sentiment typical of institutional investors anticipating long-term price appreciation.
Metaplanet now ranks among the top 13 largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally, controlling over 0.01% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply. In Asia, they’re second only to a Chinese poker game company that holds 3,183 BTC. Number one spot in their sights? Probably.
CEO Simon Gerovich is on a mission to lead Japan’s Bitcoin renaissance. He’s betting big on Bitcoin’s long-term value, market fluctuations be damned. The guy clearly sleeps well at night.
This latest purchase, timed during a Bitcoin price dip, sends a clear message to the market: Metaplanet isn’t flinching. Their confidence might just inspire other corporate investors to follow suit, potentially supporting Bitcoin’s stability long-term. This move aligns with the broader trend of Bitcoin’s value surge after the ETF approvals in January 2024.
One thing’s certain—while others panic, Metaplanet is busy shopping. Bitcoin’s volatile reputation? Doesn’t seem to bother them one bit.
