Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Treasury to 15,555 BTC in $239M Buy
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin treasury by acquiring 2,205 BTC at an average price of $108,237 per coin, spending $238.7 million to bring its total holdings to 15,555 BTC (approx. $1.69 billion). The deal positions Metaplanet as the world’s fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, surpassing Tesla, CleanSpark and Galaxy Digital, and trails only Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms and MicroStrategy. Since rebranding in 2024 from a hotel and tech firm to a dedicated Bitcoin treasury, the company aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC (around 1% of supply) by late 2027. In Q2 2025, Metaplanet reported 1.1 billion yen ($7.6 million) in revenue—a 42.4% year-on-year rise—and saw its stock jump 13.9% over the past month and 416.6% year-to-date. This move underscores growing corporate demand for Bitcoin treasury diversification amid a broader trend of institutional adoption.
Bullish
Metaplanet’s significant BTC acquisition signals strong corporate confidence in Bitcoin and reduces available supply. The expansion of its Bitcoin treasury to over 15,500 BTC and its public commitment to grow to 210,000 BTC by 2027 may spur further institutional interest. In the short term, this purchase may drive positive sentiment and buying pressure, while in the long term, sustained corporate accumulation supports Bitcoin’s narrative as a treasury asset, underpinning price stability and potential appreciation.
