Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has reached a major milestone in its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, hitting the halfway mark in its goal to hold 10,000 coins by the end of 2025. Metaplanet Crosses 5K Mark After Latest Buy The Tokyo-listed firm now holds 5,000 BTC, worth approximately $460 million at current market prices. “We have reached 50% of our initial goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025,” Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich posted on the X platform. “This is a big step forward in our aim to become one of the world’s leading bitcoin holding companies. We will lead the global bitcoin race from Japan.” Metaplanet announced on April 24 that it had acquired an additional 145 BTC for roughly $13.6 million, at an average price of $93,327 per coin. The company’s Bitcoin Yield, its key indicator for assessing the performance of its Bitcoin acquisition concept, surpassed 121.1% year-to-date following its latest investment. This move is part of Metaplanet’s broader strategy for Bitcoin treasury operations, launched in 2024, which aims to use digital assets to enhance shareholder value. Metaplanet’s 5,000 BTC stash, purchased for a total cost of $428 million, makes it Asia’s largest and the world’s 10th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Bitcoin Treasuries data shows. Beyond the investment firm’s goal of accumulating 10,000 BTC this year, it aims to reach 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026. Metaplanet’s aggressive shopping spree has been fueled by a $745 million capital raise dubbed “Asia’s largest-ever,” designed around zero-discount moving strike warrants. The company’s “21 Million Plan” aims to give Metaplanet the flexibility to acquire BTC in tranches, allowing the company to optimize entry points and avoid unnecessary dilution. More Companies Imitating Strategy’s Bitcoin Hoarding Plan Michael Saylor and Strategy — formerly known as MicroStrategy — popularized the corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy now adopted by an increasing list of companies, including Metaplanet, MARA , and Semler Scientific . Most recently, it was revealed that Wall Street’s Cantor Fitzgerald had partnered with SoftBank, Bitfinex, and Tether to create a $3 billion crypto acquisition company, 21 Capital. With 21 Capital, the consortium can capitalize on the market under crypto-friendly US President Donald Trump, and mirror Saylor’s Strategy, which currently holds a staggering 538,200 BTC hoard. Cantor’s new venture is set to start operations with over 42,000 BTC. With Bitcoin trading at around $92,347 at publication time, that amount would be valued at around $3.8 billion.
