Metaplanet Tops $400M in Bitcoin Holdings With New $28M Purchase

Metaplanet Becomes 10th-Largest Corporate Bitcoin Holder Globally

Metaplanet, a leading Japanese investment firm often dubbed "Asia’s MicroStrategy," has increased its Bitcoin holdings to over $400 million following a new purchase of 330 BTC worth approximately $28.2 million. This brings the company’s total holdings to 4,855 BTC, currently valued at around $414 million.

According to CEO Simon Gerovich, the latest acquisition was made at an average price of $85,605 per BTC, further cementing Metaplanet's strategy to position Bitcoin at the core of its treasury.

Doubling Down on Bitcoin

This latest move is part of a broader vision by Metaplanet to accumulate 21,000 BTC by 2026, underscoring the firm’s commitment to driving Bitcoin adoption across Japan. With the year-to-date return on its Bitcoin investment now exceeding 119%, the company continues to see Bitcoin not just as a hedge, but as a long-term growth asset.

To finance its accumulation strategy, Metaplanet recently issued 2 billion Japanese yen (approximately $13.3 million) in bonds to support additional Bitcoin purchases.

With its current holdings, Metaplanet now ranks as the 10th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder worldwide and the largest in Asia, according to data from Bitbo.

Institutional Momentum Builds Across the Sector

Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy mirrors the approach taken by US-based Strategy, the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Just a week prior, Strategy acquired 3,459 BTC for $285.5 million at an average price of $82,618 per BTC, bringing its total to a staggering 531,644 BTC — worth nearly $36 billion.

Analysts suggest that the expanding presence of institutional players like Metaplanet and Strategy is accelerating Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle. Some predictions place the next market bottom around Q3 2025, with a potential peak by mid-2026 — though a maturing market and increased liquidity could push that timeline forward.

Bitcoin’s Long-Term Outlook: $1.8M by 2035?

Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, sentiment among Bitcoin analysts remains highly bullish. Joe Burnett, director of market research at Unchained, forecasts that Bitcoin could surpass $1.8 million by 2035, fueled by its growing status as a premier savings technology.

As Bitcoin’s market capitalization continues its climb, analysts predict it may rival — or even surpass — gold’s $21 trillion valuation, further validating the strategies of corporate giants like Metaplanet.

A Vision for Japan and Beyond

Metaplanet’s vision extends beyond simple investment. The firm is strategically positioning itself to lead Bitcoin adoption in Japan and broader Asia. With a clear roadmap to 21,000 BTC and an appetite for continued growth, it is quickly becoming a major force in the global Bitcoin landscape.

In a world increasingly recognizing Bitcoin as both a hedge and a foundational technology, Metaplanet’s bold moves may set the tone for what corporate treasuries look like in the future.
