Metaplanet Inc., often referred to as Asia’s MicroStrategy, has made a significant move in the cryptocurrency market by acquiring an additional 2,205 BTC for $238.7 million. This purchase brings the company's total

holdings to 15,555 BTC, valued at nearly $1.54 billion. The average price per Bitcoin for these holdings is approximately $99,307.

This acquisition marks a strategic step for Metaplanet, as it aims to become one of the leading corporate holders of Bitcoin. The company's aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has already positioned it as the fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, surpassing

and . Metaplanet's CEO, Simon Gerovich, has reiterated the company's commitment to continuing its Bitcoin purchases to generate value for its shareholders.

Metaplanet's recent financial performance reflects the success of its Bitcoin strategy. The company achieved a BTC yield of 129.4% last quarter and a BTC yield of 416.6% year-to-date in 2025. On a quarter-to-date basis, its BTC yield stands at 15.1%. This performance underscores the effectiveness of Metaplanet's approach to Bitcoin investment.

In addition to its Bitcoin holdings, Metaplanet has also taken steps to strengthen its financial position. The company recently announced the approval of the 19th Series of ordinary bonds to EVO FUND and plans to proceed with the buyback and cancellation of the 3rd series of bond offerings. The remaining funds from these transactions will be used to purchase more Bitcoin, further solidifying Metaplanet's position as a major player in the cryptocurrency market.

Metaplanet's stock price has shown resilience despite recent market fluctuations. After a brief decline following the announcement of a plan to raise $5.4 billion to hold at least 210,000 BTC by 2027, the stock price has rebounded. On Monday, the stock closed 0.45% higher at 1,552 yen, with a 24-hour low of 1,480 yen and a high of 1,604 yen. This rebound is supported by an increase in shareholder interest, with the number of shareholders doubling to 128,073 in just three months.

Metaplanet's ambitious plans do not stop at its current holdings. The company has revised its target to hold 30,000 BTC by 2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. These targets are part of the Accelerated 2025-2027 Bitcoin Plan, which aims to position Metaplanet as a leading corporate holder of Bitcoin and generate significant value for its shareholders.
