Highlights
- Metaplanet adds 780 Bitcoin, valued at $92.5 million, to its BTC portfolio.
- The Japanese firm's total BTC holdings reach 17,132 BTC, valued at around $1.73 billion.
- This move comes following Michael Saylor's announcement to boost Strategy's BTC portfolio.
Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed firm and Asia’s largest public Bitcoin holder, has made headlines once again with a significant addition to its BTC portfolio. The Japanese investment firm has now purchased 780 Bitcoin, bringing its total holding to 17,132 BTC, valued at approximately $1.73 billion. With this latest acquisition, Metaplanet cements its status as a major player, positioning itself as a strong competitor to Michael Saylor’s Strategy.
Metaplanet Accumulates 780 Bitcoin, Total Holdings Hit $1.7B
In the latest move, Metaplanet has purchased 780 Bitcoin, valued at $92.5 million. This acquisition, made at an average price of $118,622 per BTC, has brought the asset manager’s total holding to 17,132 BTC, valued at around $1.73 billion. The average acquisition cost is $101,030 per coin. In an X post, CEO Simon Gerovich stated that this purchase has resulted in a year-to-date BTC yield of 449.7% as of July 28, 2025.
It is noteworthy that Metaplanet’s latest purchase follows Michael Saylor’s recent announcement to add more coins to Strategy’s BTC stash. As CoinGape reported, Strategy currently holds a total of 607,770 BTC with a valuation of around $71.8 billion. This has placed Strategy as the largest public holder of BTC, while Metaplanet is ranked 7th.
Metaplanet Stock Price Surges
Following this move, the Metaplanet stock price has seen a notable surge of 5%. Despite the current surge, the stock price, at 1,241 yen, has decreased by 6.9% and 16.7% over the past five and thirty days, respectively.
Rising Through the Ranks
Notably, the move follows Metaplanet’s recent purchase of 797 Bitcoin for $93.6 million when BTC hovered around its new all-time high of $122k. The asset manager’s strategic BTC purchase aligns with the company’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation plan to acquire 210,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2027.
This strategic BTC accumulation has catapulted Metaplanet to become one of the top ten public companies holding Bitcoin. The company recently surpassed industry giants like Tesla, CleanSpark, and Galaxy Digital to secure the fifth rank.
However, the recent surge in institutional adoption of Bitcoin has reshuffled the rankings. Notably, Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company and Trump Media have bolstered their portfolios, claiming the 4th and 6th spots among public holders.
