(@Metaplanet_JP) July 7, 2025 According to data tracked by BitcoinTreasuries.NET, the Tokyo-listed investment company now ranks as the fifth biggest corporate holder of the world’s largest crypto after recently overtaking Tesla , CleanSpark, and Galaxy Digital . Metaplanet is only trailing behind large crypto firms, such as MARA, Riot, and Strategy. Metaplanet, which rebranded in 2024 from a hotel and technology firm to a dedicated Bitcoin treasury, recently announced that it is looking to accumulate 210,000 BTC, or about 1% of the 21 million supply, by 2027 as it aims to become one of the world’s largest Bitcoin Treasury companies. The firm’s latest BTC buy comes at a time when more companies are looking to invest in the benchmark crypto, partly as a way of boosting their share prices. Over 142 publicly traded firms hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets as of publication time. They have raked up a combined $92 billion of the alpha crypto, with Michael Saylor’s software firm Strategy’s stockpile roughly two-thirds of that amount. Strategy currently holds over $64 billion worth of Bitcoin . It began buying the world’s oldest cryptocurrency in 2020, pioneering the model that has recently become widely adopted.
