Catenaa, Tuesday, July 08, 2025- Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has purchased an additional 2,205 bitcoin, worth approximately $238.7 million, bringing its total holdings to 15,555 BTC. The latest acquisition strengthens the company’s position as the fifth-largest publicly traded corporate holder of bitcoin globally, according to Bitcointreasuries.net.
The purchase was confirmed by CEO Simon Gerovich in a post on X, where he noted the average purchase price at $108,237 per bitcoin. Metaplanet trails behind only MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital, Tesla, and Coinbase in corporate BTC reserves, with Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy maintaining its lead at 597,325 BTC.
The company has seen robust revenue growth, reporting nearly 1.1 billion yen ($7.6 million) in Q2 2025, a 42.4% year-over-year increase, driven by its bitcoin-focused business model. Gerovich stated the results validate Metaplanet’s long-term strategy of building an operationally efficient business on a bitcoin standard.
Despite a 1.8% dip in its share price during Monday trading in Tokyo, Metaplanet’s stock remains up 13.9% over the past month and has soared 339% year-to-date.
In June, the company raised its long-term goal to amass more than 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, further underscoring its aggressive crypto treasury approach. With each acquisition, Metaplanet is positioning itself as a key institutional pillar in bitcoin adoption across Asia.
