The Tokyo-based company continues to demonstrate one of the most bold corporate Bitcoin accumulation strategies we’ve seen in the market today.
Key Developments
On October 1st, Metaplanet made headlines with another significant Bitcoin purchase – this time acquiring 5,268 BTC for approximately $615.7 million. The average purchase price of $116,870 per coin shows the company isn’t deterred by higher price levels.
This latest acquisition brings Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin reserves to an impressive 30,823 BTC, representing a cumulative investment of $3.33 billion (averaging around $107,912 per bitcoin). What’s particularly striking is their reported 497.1% year-to-date return for 2025, largely driven by Bitcoin’s remarkable performance earlier this year.
According to recent industry data, this positions Metaplanet as the fourth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. Perhaps more notably, they’ve maintained their status as Asia’s leading publicly-traded Bitcoin treasury company.
Funding Strategy and Future Plans
The company has been quite strategic about financing these acquisitions, primarily through international share offerings and reinvesting operational revenue. Their recent overseas share offering specifically aimed at raising capital for additional Bitcoin purchases suggests we might see more buying activity in the near future.
Business Diversification Efforts
Beyond just accumulating Bitcoin, Metaplanet has been expanding its operational footprint. September saw the launch of two new subsidiaries – one in the United States focused on derivatives trading and income generation, and another in Japan handling media, events, and Bitcoin-related services.
CEO Simon Gerovich has consistently emphasized that this dual approach reflects their long-term conviction in Bitcoin as both a strategic hedge and growth catalyst. The company clearly views this as more than just a treasury strategy.
Looking Ahead
Reaching 30,000 BTC actually fulfills Metaplanet’s year-end target set back in May. However, their longer-term ambitions are even more ambitious – they’re aiming for 100,000 BTC by 2026 and an extraordinary 210,000 BTC by 2027. Whether they can maintain this aggressive accumulation pace remains an interesting question for investors to watch.
