Japanese corporate sector’s embrace of Bitcoin reached a new milestone as Metaplanet Inc. secured its position among the world’s top 15 corporate Bitcoin holders, accumulating 0.01% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply. The Tokyo-based firm’s latest acquisition of 68.59 BTC, valued at $6.6 million, brings its total holdings to 2,100 BTC.
Following the strategic approach pioneered by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) co-founder Michael Saylor, Metaplanet has implemented an aggressive acquisition strategy since April 2024. The company has announced ambitious targets of accumulating 10,000 BTC by 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.
The firm’s financing strategy includes innovative methods, with plans to issue $745 million in zero-discount moving strike warrants – marking Asia’s largest equity capital raise for Bitcoin investments. Additionally, Metaplanet recently secured $25.9 million through zero-interest, unsecured bonds specifically for Bitcoin purchases.
Performance metrics validate this approach, with BTC yield – a measure of Bitcoin holdings relative to outstanding shares – showing an impressive 18% year-to-date growth for 2025 and a remarkable 309.8% surge in Q4 2024. This success has reflected in the company’s stock performance, which rose 2.78% to $41.90 (¥6,290.00) following the announcement, according to market data.
The trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption continues to expand, with companies like Rumble Inc. planning $20 million in Bitcoin investments and KULR Technology adding 510 BTC to its treasury. Japan’s Gumi Inc., a leading mobile game developer, has also announced plans to acquire $6.58 million in Bitcoin.
Strategy maintains its leadership position with over 478,740 BTC ($46 billion), followed by Mara Holdings (45,221 BTC) and Riot Platforms (18,211 BTC), according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.
Saylor acknowledged Metaplanet’s achievement on social media, referring to their holdings as “One Basis Point of Bitcoin.”
