Hold onto your hats, folks! Metaplanet is on a Bitcoin buying spree, and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. The Japanese investment powerhouse has just upped its Bitcoin stash to a whopping 3,350 BTC, after splurging on an extra 150 BTC for around $12.6 million. Talk about pocket change!
But wait, there's more! Metaplanet has set its sights on a jaw-dropping target – they’re aiming to hoard 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, and a mind-boggling 21,000 BTC by 2026. That's a slice of the Bitcoin pie that would make them a proud owner of 1% of the total Bitcoin supply. Who wouldn't want that?
They’ve been on a shopping spree all through 2025, snagging 1,288 BTC in just the first 11 weeks. According to a recent update, they snagged their Bitcoin at an average price of $83,801 each, bringing their grand total to a staggering $278.8 million, with an average snag price of $83,224 per BTC.
Keeping track of their treasure trove with something called BTC Yield, Metaplanet's performance metric is through the roof. After skyrocketing 309.8% in the last quarter of 2024, it’s already at 68.3% in the first quarter of 2025. Talk about a rocket ride!
How are they funding this crypto conquest, you ask? Through stock acquisitions and zero-interest bonds, of course. In March alone, they redeemed ¥2 billion ($12.8 million) in bonds early and issued another ¥2 billion in new bonds to fuel their Bitcoin binge. Purchases included 156 BTC on March 3, 497 BTC on March 5, 162 BTC on March 12, and capped off with 150 BTC on March 18. Busy month, right?
The buzz has sent their stock price soaring, trading at ¥5,060 with a 6.98% jump in the last 24 hours. Metaplanet is now Asia’s largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder, and they've made it into the global top 10.
In a surprise twist, they’ve brought Eric Trump on board as the first member of their brand new advisory board. While details are hush-hush, CEO Simon Gerovich is over the moon, calling it a huge leap towards becoming a world leader in Bitcoin treasury.
All this is happening as Japan shakes up its crypto laws, proposing a tax cut on crypto capital gains from 55% to 20% and aiming to classify crypto as its own asset class. It looks like Metaplanet is surfing the crypto wave, and they’re riding it all the way to the top!
