Metaplanet currently holds 35,102 $BTC, valued at approximately $2.6 billion at current market prices. This positions the company as the third-largest Bitcoin treasury globally, trailing only Strategy and MARA Holdings, which together hold 792,553 $BTC.
Strategy, the largest crypto treasury firm, is expected to announce a new Bitcoin acquisition today, following hints from Executive Chairman Michael Saylor and last week’s preferred share sale that raised additional funds.
Metaplanet targets holdings of 100,000 $BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 $BTC by the end of 2027.
As part of its expansion plans, the firm intends to establish a US subsidiary, Metaplanet Asset Management, to support venture investments and develop digital asset financial services linked to Bitcoin capital markets.
