Metaplanet Surges to 6th Largest Public Company Bitcoin Holder with 20,000 BTC

Metaplanet Inc. (MTPLF) has become the world's sixth-largest public company Bitcoin treasury holder with 20,000 bitcoins, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. The Japanese firm trails behind MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR) and MARA Holdings Inc. (MARA). Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, has been promoting Metaplanet during his Asian ventures, highlighting the company's strategic position. The firm has secured its position in the rankings, ahead of notable companies such as Tesla Inc. (TSLA) and Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN).

Metaplanet Inc. (MTPLF), a Japanese investment firm, has solidified its position as the sixth-largest public company Bitcoin treasury holder, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. With a recent acquisition of 1,009 BTC on September 1, 2025, the company's total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 20,000 BTC [1].

This acquisition, part of Metaplanet’s ongoing treasury strategy, was executed at an average price of $111,720 per BTC, bringing the total purchase value to approximately $111 million. The company’s aggregate cost basis is estimated at $2.06 billion [1].

Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has drawn comparisons to Michael Saylor-led MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR), with the firm leveraging capital markets to expand its Bitcoin reserves. This latest move comes as Metaplanet continues to position itself as Japan’s answer to MicroStrategy, focusing on long-term accumulation to benefit from Bitcoin’s potential as a strategic hedge against inflation and currency volatility [1].

Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump and co-founder of World Liberty Financial, has been promoting Metaplanet during his Asian ventures. His attendance at Metaplanet’s shareholder meeting in Tokyo on Monday highlights the company's strategic position. The meeting will involve a vote on a proposal to sell up to 550 million new shares overseas, raising 130.3 billion yen ($884.41 million) primarily for Bitcoin acquisitions [2].

Metaplanet’s stock has seen significant growth, surging by nearly 760% in the past year. The company, formerly known as Red Planet Japan, is now listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and has become one of the top 10 corporate holders of Bitcoin, with a stash valued at $388 million as of April 2025 [2].

Metaplanet’s rise in the crypto space has been rapid, with its Bitcoin holdings valued at $2.05 billion as of the writing of this article. The firm’s aggressive strategy could serve as a model for other publicly traded companies in Asia, as global institutional adoption of Bitcoin accelerates [1].
