- Metaplanet acquires 1,234 BTC, surpassing Tesla with 12,345 BTC.
- $515M raised via stock issuance to fund Bitcoin purchases.
- Aims for 210,000 BTC by 2027 under “555 Million Plan.”
Investment firm Metaplanet, based in Tokyo, has bought 1,234 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $132.7 million to raise its holdings of Bitcoin to 12,345 total coins, worth around $1.33 billion. The acquisition, which was announced on June 26, 2025, gives Metaplanet an upper hand over Tesla, which has 11,509 BTC and is ranked seventh as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET.
The purchase, conducted by the Metaplanet company unit in the United States, Metaplanet Treasury Corp, is emblematic of the company entering an aggressive accumulation approach to Bitcoin ownership. The average price of the latest acquisition is estimated at 107,557 dollars per BTC, which comes to the total cost of the company of 1.2 billion dollars at 97,036 dollars per BTC.
Metaplanet began folding its hotel division into its Bitcoin-focused parent company in April 2024. Currently, the company’s goals are to acquire 30,000 BTC by 2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027, representing one percent of the finite supply of twenty-one million BTC. This goal is compatible with the policy of Strategy, or the biggest corporate BTC owner with more than 592,300 of it.
Strategic Funding Fuels Bitcoin Expansion
Metaplanet secured $515 million in funding for its Bitcoin acquisition via the cooperative company of EVO FUND, an institutional investor, with the sale of 54 million shares on June 25, 2025. The money belongs to its “555 Million Plan,” under which the company plans to raise 5.4 billion dollars and purchase 201,112 BTC by 2027. Following board approval, the plan would provide the U.S. subsidiary with five billion dollars to use toward future purchases.
Its shares, marketed in the Tokyo Stock Exchange as MTPLF, have gained a 353.5% rate during the year but fell by 0.94% on the announcement day. According to CEO Simon Gerovich, the firm has a long-term vision and added, “Our Bitcoin strategy converts capital into an immune asset, optimized to shareholder returns.” This method uses the instruments based on equity to finance the purchases at the minimum level of shareholder dilution.
The Bitcoin yield of Metaplanet, which measures BTC per fully diluted share, was 112.2% in Q2 2025, up from 95.6% in Q1. The aggressive approach by the firm is further ascertained by the fact that it rose in June 2025 to in excess of 12,000 BTC, making it the biggest corporate holding of Bitcoin in Asia.
Global Impact and Future Outlook
The recent acquisition is an indication that Metaplanet is foreseeing an increase in interest in Bitcoin as a reserve asset among institutions. The activity of the firm reflects a greater general trend, as other firms such as Strategy and MARA Holdings are also accumulating large holdings of BTC treasuries. The fact that Metaplanet places its emphasis on Japanese-investor targeting on tax-uncomplicated Bitcoin exposure has attracted attention because retail investors in Japan experience unnecessary crypto taxation confusion.
The recent actions taken by the company demonstrate the belief in the long-term worthiness of Bitcoin. As Metaplanet intends to buy another 1,000 BTC to surpass CleanSparks’ 12,502 BTC and snatch 5th place as the largest corporate holder of BTC, Metaplanet will position itself to change the topography of the global Bitcoin treasury holders map. Its American subsidiary, located in Florida since May 2025, increases the effectiveness of extensive purchases.
