Bitcoin Proxy Metaplanet Tops Japan Stock Market with $1.51B Trading Record

Highlights

  • Metaplanet tops the Japanese stock market in trading value and volume.
  • The actions of the company in investing heavily in Bitcoin, like MicroStrategy, have made its stock surge during economic difficulties.
  • On-chain data points to continued increases in Bitcoin's price until at least October 2025.

On June 3, 2025, Metaplanet was ranked as Japan’s most valuable stock. It was both the heaviest and biggest trading company on the nation’s stock market. The trading value was equivalent to ¥222 billion (around $1.51 billion) and there were 170 million shares traded.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Surge Signals Shift in Japan’s Financial Landscape

The news came from Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet’s CEO, who shared the update on X. Metaplanet’s success reflects growing interest in Bitcoin-related firms in Japan.

The company’s stock performance has been extraordinary, driven by its bold Bitcoin strategy. Gerovich also shared an image that shows a table comparing Metaplanet with other top Japanese stocks.

It traded 222,097,781 shares, far ahead of competitors like NTT with 154,518,600 shares. Its value reached ¥1,345 per share, up 1.74%, while others like JD.com saw no change. This makes Metaplanet a clear leader from the competition in the market.

For some people, this development shows that digital currencies are gaining investor confidence in Japan. This trend is mirrored globally, as seen in Pakistan’s proposed crypto regulations and Bitcoin reserve plans.

Others believe it is proof that many are moving away from classic investments. The company’s quick rise is happening in a time of economic difficulties, like rising inflation and worries about bonds.

Metaplanet Leads as Its Bitcoin Strategy Proves Successful

Initially, the company was relatively small, but it grew by concentrating on Bitcoin. It is now holding a big portion of the leading cryptocurrency. Its stock has risen dramatically which has made it attractive to traders.

Its strategy is much like what other firms like MicroStrategy in the U.S. have done. Recent regulatory clarity, such as the SEC dropping its case against Binance, may further encourage companies to explore cryptocurrency investments.

Metaplanet’s success might make other companies to consider getting involved in cryptocurrencies. Presently, it represents progress and modernization in the world of finance.

Bitcoin Bull Market Keeps Getting Stronger

On-chain data indicates that the bull market for Bitcoin is still strong at present. The Realized Cap Impulse index is still at important support levels. Such a demand is often enough to raise the value of this digital asset.

The experts expect the trend to go on until October. They also note that it might only be the final big push before the cryptocurrency’s price starts dipping.

As Bitcoin eyes $120K, analysts emphasize the importance of clearing key resistance levels. The analysts predict that a cycle of selling and drop in the cryptocurrency’s price could last through late 2026.

Changes in Bitcoin’s realized capitalization makes it possible to spot market trends by watching the actions of investors. At this time, buyers are still in control.
