The fresh scoop places Metaplanet among the top 5 largest corporate Bitcoin holders, surpassing Bullish, which holds 24,300 Bitcoin. Michael Saylor’s Strategy tops the list with a total of 638,985 BTC.

Further, the latest acquisition marks the company’s largest BTC purchases to date, according to Metaplanet analytics. With the purchase, Metaplanet has achieved BTC Yield of 395.1% YTD 2025, Gerovich added.

Aggressive BTC Accumulation Meets Metaplanet’s Goals

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy is both aggressive and transparent. As of mid-April 2025, the corporate holder’s total Bitcoin holdings were only 4,525 BTC, entering the world’s top ten public Bitcoin-holding companies.

It initially announced to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, which Metaplanet already reached on June 16. Further, the Tokyo firm said it would acquire 21,000 BTC by 2026, but later updated its treasury strategy.

Often referred as the ‘Asian Strategy,’ Metaplanet launched its sweeping “555 Million Plan,” aiming to raise $5.4 billion to buy 210,000 BTC by 2027.

Early this month, the company finalized $1.4 billion share sale by issuing 385 million new shares, for additional BTC purchases.
