Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made waves in the cryptocurrency world with its latest acquisition of 1,112 Bitcoin (BTC), pushing its total holdings to an impressive 10,000 BTC. This milestone, achieved as of June 16, 2025, positions Metaplanet as the seventh-largest publicly traded company in terms of Bitcoin treasury, overtaking even cryptocurrency giant Coinbase.
The company announced this significant purchase on Monday, highlighting its aggressive strategy to build a substantial Bitcoin reserve. This move aligns with Metaplanet’s previously stated goal of reaching 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, a target it has now met ahead of schedule.
Metaplanet’s stock has seen a dramatic surge, rising nearly 400% in less than two months and achieving a market capitalization that surpasses major firms like chipmaker Kioxia Holdings Corp. The stock rally, fueled by the global crypto boom, reflects investor confidence in Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-focused strategy.
This achievement comes amidst warnings from analysts, such as those from VanEck, about potential capital erosion due to stock dilution risks. Despite these concerns, Metaplanet’s valuation continues to soar, with its Bitcoin holdings priced by investors at an astonishing $759,000 per BTC.
The firm’s approach has also been seen as a tax-efficient gateway for local Japanese investors, contributing to a staggering 10,000% increase in its stock value over the past year. This positions Metaplanet as a unique player in blending traditional finance with digital assets.
As Metaplanet continues to expand its Bitcoin treasury, the financial world watches closely. Will this bold strategy redefine corporate investment in cryptocurrencies, or will the risks of dilution and volatility temper its meteoric rise? Only time will tell.
