Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, has purchased 330 BTC valued at over $28 million, increasing its holdings to 4,855 BTC worth more than $422 million. Since beginning its Bitcoin acquisitions in 2024, the firm’s stock has appreciated by over 1,200%. Metaplanet, likened to “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” focuses on Bitcoin as a core treasury asset, with significant investment strategies paralleling major augmentations from firms like MicroStrategy.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has recently acquired 330 Bitcoin, representing an investment of over $28 million. With this addition, the company’s total holdings have reached 4,855 BTC, equivalent to more than $422 million. Since Metaplanet commenced its Bitcoin purchases in 2024, its stock has surged over 1,200% in value.
CEO Simon Gerovich announced on social media that the firm has invested around $414.5 million in Bitcoin, averaging $85,386 per coin. The latest acquisition, comprising 330 BTC purchased at an approximate price of $85,605, contributes to a year-to-date (YTD) BTC yield of 119.3% for 2025.
Metaplanet is often referred to as “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” having adopted a similar strategy to the American software firm, pivoting from traditional business operations to focus on Bitcoin as a corporate treasury. Both firms provide investors exposure to Bitcoin through publicly-traded shares. Bitcoin’s recent trading price is noted at approximately $87,200, having increased by 2.8% within the past day and nearing a 35% rise over the last year.
Eight days prior, Metaplanet expanded its Bitcoin assets with a purchase worth 3.78 billion yen (approximately $26.3 million). The firm emphasises its commitment to not just investing in digital assets but also innovating within the finance sector. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy holds the most substantial corporate Bitcoin reserves, totalling 538,000 BTC, following a $555 million investment that raised its holdings to over $47 billion, having started its purchases in 2020.
Despite the significant stock growth since 2024, Metaplanet’s stock saw a decline of nearly 1% on the day of the announcement. Additionally, last month, the company appointed Eric Trump to its new Strategic Advisory Board, highlighting his expertise in business and passion for Bitcoin.
