Metaplanet’s Continues Its BTC Buying Spree
In an official post, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced the issuance of $50 million in 0% ordinary bonds, with the proceeds slated to fund its Bitcoin acquisition. CEO Simon Gerovich reposted the thread, asserting, “$50 million more BTC incoming.”
With its latest acquisition of 1,004 Bitcoin for about $104.3 million on May 19, Metaplanet’s total BTC holding stands at a massive 7,800 BTC. The company’s substantial Bitcoin investment has propelled it ahead of El Salvador, which currently holds 6,189.18 BTC.

Significantly, Metaplanet’s move follows MicroStrategy’s latest purchase of 4,020 BTC for $427.1 million at an average price of $106,237 per coin. While the Japanese firm holds 7,800 BTC, MicroStrategy holds a far larger amount of 580,250 BTC, valued at around $63.3 billion at the current price. At press time, Bitcoin is valued at $109,005, up 1.47%.

Guided by this conviction, we pivoted in 2024 to become Japan’s first dedicated Bitcoin Treasury Company. In Q1 2025, we launched—and have already executed 87% of—a two-year, ¥116 billion “moving-strike” warrant program: the largest and lowest-cost equity financing of its kind ever placed in Japan.
