Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings to Over $400M with New Acquisition

Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin holdings to 4,855 BTC with a recent $28.2M acquisition. It is now the largest public BTC holder in Asia and aims to reach 21,000 BTC by 2026. The firm reported a Bitcoin Yield of 119.3% year-to-date for 2025, despite market volatility.

Metaplanet, a prominent Japanese investment firm, has announced a significant addition to its Bitcoin portfolio, acquiring 330 BTC for approximately $28.2 million. This acquisition increases its total holdings to 4,855 BTC, making it Asia’s largest and the 10th-largest public Bitcoin holder globally, as confirmed by CEO Simon Gerovich on social media platform X.

In the latest report, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin has been cumulatively acquired at an average price of $85,386 per BTC, amounting to an investment of around $414.5 million. The recent purchase saw Metaplanet buying the BTC at an average of $85,605 each and achieving a Bitcoin Yield of 119.3% year-to-date for 2025.

This acquisition is the third made by Metaplanet in April 2025 and follows the firm raising $13.3 million through bonds. Despite market volatility due to US tariffs and widespread pessimistic sentiment about price trends, Metaplanet continues to pursue its strategic goal of reaching 21,000 BTC by 2026, capitalising on the growing demand for Bitcoin within Japan.

Other Japanese firms like Remixpoint are also increasing their Bitcoin holdings, with Remixpoint investing in 333.19 BTC as a hedge against the yen’s depreciation. Furthermore, Bitcoin has displayed a robust performance in comparison to U.S. equities, with its realised volatility remaining lower than that of major U.S. indices, suggesting it serves as a strategic asset for many companies amidst economic uncertainty.
