Metaplanet Becomes Fourth-Largest Corporate Bitcoin Holder After $615 Million Purchase

Tokyo-listed investment firm Metaplanet has acquired 5,268 Bitcoin tokens in its latest strategic purchase, bringing its total holdings to 30,823 BTC worth approximately $3.33 billion. The transaction, executed at an average price of $116,870 per coin, represents a $615 million investment in the digital asset.

The acquisition propels Metaplanet past Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company in global rankings, securing its position as the fourth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin worldwide. The company now trails only Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which maintains the top spot with 640,031 tokens following its recent $22.1 million purchase.

Aggressive Accumulation Strategy Yields Results

Metaplanet’s year-to-date Bitcoin yield has reached 497.1%, demonstrating the effectiveness of its treasury management approach. The company recently surpassed Bullish to claim fifth place, but this latest acquisition has pushed it into fourth position.

Corporate executives have set an ambitious target of capturing 1% of the global Bitcoin market by 2027. The firm plans to achieve this milestone through operational expansion and preferred share financing structures that preserve common shareholder equity.

The company’s filing emphasized that its key performance metrics focus on measuring real growth in token holdings and their value in yen terms. These indicators enable investors to assess shareholder value creation while taking into account the effects of share dilution.

Revenue Projections Double on Bitcoin Operations

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Income Generation division generated $16.75 million in revenue during Q3 2025, representing a 115.7% increase from the previous quarter. The strong performance prompted management to double its full-year revenue forecast to $46 million and increase operating profit guidance to $31 million.

The company established three new subsidiaries to expand its presence in the digital asset sector. Metaplanet Income Corp. launched in the United States, while Bitcoin Japan Inc. and Bitcoin Japan Co., Ltd. were created to strengthen domestic operations.

These developments follow the completion of a $1.4 billion fundraising round aimed at supporting the company’s global expansion plans. The capital will fund continued Bitcoin acquisitions through the firm’s preferred share issuance program.

Metaplanet’s persistent accumulation strategy continues despite recent price fluctuations in cryptocurrency markets. The company’s approach mirrors that of Strategy, which conducts regular weekly purchases to build its position as the dominant corporate holder.

The Japanese firm’s rapid ascent through corporate Bitcoin rankings reflects its commitment to becoming Asia’s leading treasury reserve company. Management views Bitcoin as a core component of its long-term value creation strategy.

The scalability of Metaplanet’s business model positions the company for continued growth in the digital asset space. Its diversified revenue streams and international expansion efforts support ongoing investment in Bitcoin reserves while maintaining operational flexibility.
