Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Treasury with Significant Acquisition
In a strategic move to bolster its cryptocurrency reserves, the Japanese Bitcoin treasury entity Metaplanet has made headlines with its latest acquisition, securing $93 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC). This development marks a significant milestone in the company’s asset management strategy.
Metaplanet’s Strategic Expansion of Bitcoin Holdings
Simon Gerovich, the president of Metaplanet, recently disclosed on the social media platform X that the company has added an impressive 775 BTC to its treasury. This purchase was executed at an average price of $120,006 per Bitcoin, culminating in a total expenditure of $93 million.

With this latest acquisition, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings have surged to 18,888 BTC, representing a cost basis of approximately $1.94 billion. Given the current market valuation, these reserves are worth about $2.17 billion, reflecting an unrealized gain of nearly 12%.
According to Maartunn, a community analyst at CryptoQuant, Metaplanet has been steadily increasing its Bitcoin reserves over the past months, adhering to a well-defined treasury strategy established last year.
Recent Financial Performance and Market Impact
This acquisition follows the company’s report of an exceptionally strong second quarter in 2025, which saw significant improvements in both ordinary profit and net income. Despite this positive financial performance, Metaplanet’s stock price remains 50% below its peak, recorded in June.
Industry Comparisons in Bitcoin Holdings
In a related development, the renowned Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, led by Chairman Michael Saylor, also announced a new purchase. Strategy acquired 430 BTC at a total cost of $51.4 million, bringing its cumulative Bitcoin reserves to an astounding 629,376 BTC, with an overall investment of $46.15 billion.
Strategy’s position as the largest Bitcoin holder, encompassing both corporate and governmental entities, remains unchallenged. A recent report by institutional DeFi solutions provider Sentora highlights the substantial gap between Strategy and other major holders, including the US government and China.
Currently, Metaplanet ranks thirteenth among Bitcoin holders. However, with its consistent acquisition strategy, the company is well-positioned to climb the ranks in the near future.
