Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin portfolio by acquiring an additional 780 BTC, strengthening its position as the only non-U.S. entity among the top ten corporate Bitcoin holders worldwide.
The company revealed the purchase on Monday, stating that the newly acquired Bitcoin was bought at an average price of ¥17,520,454 per BTC (roughly $118,145), amounting to a total investment of around $92 million. This brings Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin reserves to 17,132 BTC.
To date, the firm has invested approximately $1.7 billion in Bitcoin, with an average acquisition cost of $99,640 per coin.
As of now, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $118,171, marginally above Metaplanet’s latest entry point. The cryptocurrency has seen a modest 0.75% increase over the past 24 hours, according to data from Nansen.
This move follows earlier reports indicating that Metaplanet aims to leverage its Bitcoin holdings to purchase revenue-generating assets, potentially including a digital banking venture in Japan.
Leading Non-U.S. Bitcoin Holder
With its latest purchase, Metaplanet reaffirms its status as the foremost Bitcoin-holding company based outside of the United States. Data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET places Metaplanet as the only non-U.S. name in the global top ten.
Currently ranked seventh worldwide, Metaplanet’s 17,132 BTC places it just behind Trump Media & Technology Group (18,430 BTC), and ahead of Galaxy Digital, led by Michael Novogratz (12,830 BTC). The undisputed leader remains Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), holding a staggering 607,770 BTC—valued at over $72 billion.
Rising Stock and Growing Reputation
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has coincided with a remarkable rise in its share price. The company’s stock has jumped 517% over the past year and is up 246% since the beginning of 2025. As of Monday, the stock traded at $8.36, marking a 5% daily increase, per Google Finance data.
Speaking with Forbes Japan, Metaplanet President and CEO Simon Gerovich expressed surprise at the pace of growth, noting, “In just one year, we’ve become Japan’s top-performing stock, with record-breaking trading volumes and a market cap reaching ¥1 trillion.”
Gerovich also emphasized that the firm isn’t simply replicating Strategy’s model. Instead, Metaplanet is crafting a Japan-focused strategy, aligned with domestic regulations and investment structures. He added that the company provides Bitcoin exposure compatible with Japan’s tax-free investment accounts.
