On August 4, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet bought an additional 463 Bitcoin for $53.7 million, continuing its strategy of building a strong Bitcoin treasury. The purchase price averaged $115,895 per Bitcoin.
With this acquisition, Metaplanet now holds a total of 17,595 Bitcoin, which is worth around $1.78 billion. The post on X from CEO Simon Gerovich reveals that the company’s average purchase price across all its holdings is about $101,422 per Bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s Growing Bitcoin Empire
Metaplanet is now the seventh-largest Bitcoin-holding company in the world, ranking behind other major players like Strategy, Marathon Digital, and Riot Platforms, according to data from Bitcointreasuries. Notably, Metaplanet is the only Japanese company among the top 10 Bitcoin holders list.Â
Metaplanet uses a special measure called BTC Yield to track how much Bitcoin it holds per share. From January to March 2025, the company recorded a yield of 95.6%, which surged to 129.4% in April to June. The momentum has carried into Q3, with an additional 24.6% yield growth already achieved by August 4–as per the company’s latest archive document.Â
Despite the big Bitcoin buy, Metaplanet’s stock fell by 6.5% in Japan on Monday. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price increased slightly by 0.5%, trading around $114,258 late Sunday night.
Plans to Buy 210K BTC
Just before this purchase, the company revealed a plan to raise to $3.7 billion (555 billion yen) by issuing perpetual preferred shares. This money will be used to buy even more Bitcoin in the future.
The proposed fundraising represents around 75% of Metaplanet’s current market value and supports its broader ambition to acquire 210,000 BTC by 2027. Gerovich said the goal is to grow the amount of Bitcoin held per share to benefit shareholders over the long term.
