Metaplanet Tops Bitcoin Holdings with $13 Million

Japanese investment company Metaplanet has made another remarkable move by acquiring BTC worth millions of dollars, showing its commitment to the crypto asset.

According to an official announcement, the company acquired 159 BTC, valued at approximately $13 million at an average price of $84,000 per coin. With its latest buy, the firm now holds roughly 3,350 BTC, worth over $281.4 million. Meanwhile, BTC was trading at over $86.900, up 3.11% at the time of publication.

A Strategic Buy

The firm’s commitment to the digital asset aligns with a more significant movement among institutional investors who recognize the world’s largest crypto as an asset class. However, the purchase comes when BTC is experiencing strong price fluctuations, which have continued over the months.

Despite several drawbacks in the crypto market and the negative sentiments, the company’s strategic decision to stack more BTC shows the increasing acceptance and integration of the crypto assets within the corporate space, further cementing its place as one of the big players in the BTC business.

Since 2023, Metaplanet has committed to frequent Bitcoin acquisitions. The company’s founder explained that this will help protect its assets from Japan’s struggling economy, which is affecting its native currency, the Yen.

Company’s Buying Big

Earlier this month, the firm purchased an additional 497 BTC (approximately $43.9 million), which triggered a 20% increase in its stock price. At the time, the purchase followed a dip in BTC price.

Following the purchase, on March 12, 2024, the nicknamed “Asia Strategy” made another significant purchase of 162 BTC ($13.5 million), which showed its aggressive bitcoin acquisition strategy. After the BTC acquisition, the company’s stock rose by 8.1%.

Metaplanet has shown no sign of slowing down in topping its BTC portfolio, which imitates the patterns of the business intelligence firm Strategy.  On March 18, 2025, the firm acquired 150 BTC worth $12.54 million (1.879 billion yen), which shows its strong belief in the crypto’s potential. 

Earlier this year, the Japanese investment company planned to accumulate approximately 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC worth $2 billion by 2026. 

Metaplanet is not the only company increasing its BTC holdings. For instance, Strategy (former MicroStrategy) recently expanded its bitcoin portfolio with BTC worth $10 million. The firm, which is the largest corporate BTC holder, has been a lover of the coin, accumulating in substantial amounts.
