Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has officially joined the ranks of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders, announcing Thursday the purchase of 145 BTC — pushing its total stash to 5,000 BTC, currently valued at around $460 million.
CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed the milestone in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“We have reached 50% of our initial goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025… We will lead the global bitcoin race from Japan.”

Halfway to 10,000 BTC Target
Metaplanet’s acquisition strategy remains aggressive. With a stated goal of reaching 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, the firm has already spent approximately $428.1 million to amass its current holdings.
The latest purchase was funded through stock acquisition rights, sold at an average price of 13,280,472 yen ($93,327) per BTC — totaling around 1.93 billion yen ($13.6 million) for the most recent batch.
A New Bitcoin Giant from Asia
Metaplanet now joins a prestigious list of top institutional Bitcoin holders, including:
- Michael Saylor’s Strategy
- Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital (MARA)
- Tesla, led by Elon Musk
The firm’s bold positioning signals growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin outside the U.S., particularly in Asia, where regulatory clarity is emerging as a competitive advantage.
With its sights set on becoming a global Bitcoin powerhouse, Metaplanet’s next 5,000 BTC could arrive sooner than expected.
