Metaplanet Gobbles Up 145 Bitcoin For $13 Million

Metaplanet has clinched the 5,000 Bitcoin milestone after snagging a fresh haul of BTC. According to an announcement on X, the Japanese-based company has scoped an additional 145 BTC for $13.6 million.

Per the announcement, Metaplanet purchased each BTC at an average price of $93,327 per Bitcoin. At the moment, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holding sits at an impressive 5,000 BTC, which the company says has given it a BTC yield of 121.1% YTD.

“Metaplanet acquired 145 BTC for approximately 1.926 billion yen (approximately 13.28 million yen per BTC), achieving a BTC yield of 121.1% so far in 2025,” said Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich.

A bird’s eye view reveals that Metaplanet has splurged $428 million to rack up 5,000 BTC at an average price of $85,621 per Bitcoin. The latest acquisition follows Metaplanet’s purchase of 330 BTC for $28 million to bring its holdings just shy of the 5,000 BTC mark.

Metaplanet has been stacking up the largest cryptocurrency after pivoting to a BTC-first strategy in the same mold as MicroStrategy. Early in the week, Microstrategy added 6556 BTC to its balance sheet to bring its total holdings to 538,200 BTC.

Japanese-based firm reaches 50% of its BTC goal

Gerovich disclosed that the latest BTC purchase brings the Tokyo-based firm closer to its annual target. Metaplanet says the 5,000 BTC milestone brings it to the halfway point for its target of racking up 10K Bitcoin by the end of the year.

“We have reached 50% of our initial goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025,” said Gerovich. “This is a big step forward in our aim to become one of the world’s leading bitcoin holding companies.”

Metaplanet is exploring new strategies to fund its BTC accumulation spree, issuing zero-interest bonds for BTC purchases. The firm has tapped Eric Trump to serve on its Strategic Board of Advisors to advance its Bitcoin push.

Bitcoin price is yet to react to the reports of Metaplanet buying BTC, with prices trading sideways. Bitcoin currently trades well above $90,000, sending Satoshi Nakamoto’s bitcoin holdings above $100 billion.
