Metaplanet Buys Another $104M in Bitcoin, Bringing Holdings to 7,800 BTC
Metaplanet Inc., often referred to as “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” has continued its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy with the purchase of an additional 1,004 BTC.
The Japanese investment firm announced the acquisition in an official disclosure dated May 19, 2025.
According to the filing, the latest purchase was made at an average price of ¥15,134,304 per Bitcoin (approximately $103,873), bringing the total value of this transaction to ¥15.195 billion (around $104.3 million).
With this latest addition, Metaplanet now holds a total of 7,800 BTC on its balance sheet. The company has acquired this stack at an average purchase price of ¥13,510,831 per BTC — roughly $91,343 — amounting to a total investment of approximately ¥105.384 billion, or $712.5 million.
CEO Simon Gerovich reaffirmed the company’s long-term bullish stance on Bitcoin, emphasizing its role as a key treasury reserve asset. The filing also outlines how the company evaluates its Bitcoin holdings through its BTC Yield metric — a proprietary KPI that measures the ratio of Bitcoin held to shares outstanding over specific periods.
As Bitcoin trades above $105,000 at the time of writing, Metaplanet’s bet appears to be paying off, placing it among the largest public corporate holders of the digital asset in Asia.
