Metaplanet Buys Over 1,000 Bitcoin as Corporate Accumulation Surges

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made another significant move into Bitcoin, purchasing 1,004 BTC for approximately ¥15.2 billion ($104.6 million). Announced on May 19, this marks the company’s second-largest Bitcoin buy to date, as the cryptocurrency continues to hover just below its all-time high. With this acquisition, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 7,800 BTC, valued at roughly $807 million at current market prices. The purchase follows closely behind its largest single buy of 1,241 BTC on May 12 for $129 million, a transaction that pushed its reserves past those of El Salvador. Metaplanet is now the largest corporate BTC holder in Asia and ranks tenth globally, according to data from BiTBO. The company has demonstrated a strong return on its BTC investment strategy. It posted a Bitcoin yield of 95.6% in the first quarter and has already achieved a 47.8% yield in the second quarter. This yield reflects the percentage growth in BTC holdings per fully diluted share, highlighting Metaplanet’s aggressive and consistent accumulation strategy. Closing in on Galaxy Digital’s Position If Metaplanet adds another 301 BTC to its balance sheet, it will surpass Galaxy Digital Holdings, which currently sits in ninth place among public companies with 8,100 BTC. At the top of the leaderboard remains Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy, with a commanding 568,840 BTC—worth around $59 billion—under management. Metaplanet has notably ramped up its Bitcoin purchases in recent months. So far in May alone, the firm has added 2,800 BTC. In April, it made four separate buys totaling 794 BTC, and in March, six purchases brought in a combined 1,655 BTC. Michael Saylor Teases New Bitcoin Buy Meanwhile, Strategy founder Michael Saylor hinted at another upcoming purchase by sharing a screenshot of the firm’s BTC portfolio tracker on social media platform X, accompanied by the cryptic phrase, “Never short a man who buys orange ink by the barrel.” Strategy continues to lead all corporate buyers with 77% of the growth in corporate-held Bitcoin this year, according to investment firm River. River’s May 12 report also revealed that corporations have outpaced all other sectors—including ETFs, governments, and retail investors—as the largest net buyers of Bitcoin in 2025. With institutional momentum building and prices nearing historic highs, Metaplanet’s aggressive strategy may signal broader corporate conviction in BTC’s long-term value.
