Bitcoin holdings of Metaplanet approaching 8,000 units following recent acquisition
Metaplanet, a company formerly known for its hotel chain, has taken a bold step into the digital age by adopting a Bitcoin treasury model. This strategic shift, inspired by Michael Saylor's approach at MicroStrategy, has seen Metaplanet aggressively accumulate Bitcoin since the beginning of this year.
In a recent move, Metaplanet purchased 775 BTC for $93 million, bringing its total holdings to 18,888 BTC with a cost basis of approximately $1.94 billion[1][2][3][4][5]. This latest acquisition is part of a deliberate and escalating purchasing strategy that the company has been executing.
Metaplanet's Bitcoin buying spree began in earnest in the first quarter of this year. In April, the company made four separate buys totaling 794 BTC. The month before that, Metaplanet acquired 1,655 BTC across six purchases[2]. In May alone, the company added another 2,800 BTC to its reserves.
This aggressive accumulation has placed Metaplanet among the largest public corporate Bitcoin holders, contributing to growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as a treasury asset in Asia and globally[2][3][5].
Metaplanet's long-term growth target is to reach 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and to expand further to 210,000 BTC by 2027, representing about 1% of the total Bitcoin supply[4]. This ambitious plan is a testament to the company's bullish outlook on Bitcoin.
Despite some stock volatility, Metaplanet's financials have been showing signs of strength. The company reported its strongest quarter ever in Q2 2025, despite short-term yield fluctuations[1][4]. In Q1, Metaplanet posted a 95.6% BTC yield, which was followed by a 47.8% BTC yield in Q2[1][4].
Meanwhile, Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy, hinted at another upcoming buy on a social media platform X. MicroStrategy currently holds 568,840 Bitcoin, with its holdings valued at roughly $59 billion[6].
In summary, Metaplanet's strategic approach to Bitcoin accumulation is a clear demonstration of the company's confidence in the digital currency's potential. As Metaplanet continues to expand its Bitcoin reserves, it is positioning itself to be a major player in the Bitcoin market by 2027.
