Catenaa, Monday, June 30, 2025- Japan-based Metaplanet said last week it had added 1,234 Bitcoin to its corporate treasury, lifting its total holdings to 12,345 BTC, now valued at over $1.3 billion, the company said Thursday.
The acquisition, one of the firm’s largest to date, was made at an average price of 15.6 million yen per token, or roughly $108,129.
While the exact purchase date was not disclosed, the announcement reflects a bold step toward Metaplanet’s stated goal of acquiring 100,000 Bitcoin by 2026.
At the time of the announcement, Bitcoin was trading near $106,974, down slightly from the previous day. Metaplanet’s stock dipped 5 percent to 1,509 yen, or approximately $10.45, after the filing.
The move cements Metaplanet’s standing as the seventh-largest Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies, according to data from bitcointreasuries.net.
The firm now sits just behind Galaxy Digital Holdings and CleanSpark. It is also the largest non-U.S. company to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet, ahead of Canada’s Hut 8 Mining.
Metaplanet’s latest purchase underscores a broader trend among public firms adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
More than 140 such companies now hold a combined $90 billion in Bitcoin. Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, holds nearly two-thirds of that amount, valued at over $63 billion.
The buy coincides with heightened market attention ahead of one of the largest monthly Bitcoin options expiries this year.
Derivatives activity has surged, reflecting growing institutional participation even as market volatility remains elevated.
