Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet Inc. has strengthened its Bitcoin position, holding 0.01% of the total supply.
The company recently purchased 68.59 BTC at an average price of $96,335, increasing its total reserves to 2,100 BTC, worth over $204 million.
It is worth mentioning that since pivoting to a Bitcoin-focused strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has consistently expanded its holdings and shows no signs of slowing down.
For context, the firm has planned to acquire 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.
According to the company, this acquisition of Bitcoin will hedge against Japan’s economic instability, particularly concerns over high national debt and currency depreciation.
Similarly, another key factor behind the firm’s Bitcoin acquisition is its decision to launch Bitcoin Treasury Operations, contributing to notable trading activity in the Japanese market.
Meanwhile, Metaplanet has adopted innovative funding methods to support its Bitcoin acquisitions. The firm plans to raise $745 million through zero-discount moving strike warrants, marking the largest equity capital raise for Bitcoin in Asia.
In addition, it has secured $25.9 million (¥4 billion) through zero-interest, unsecured bonds, with the funds directly allocated for Bitcoin purchases. So far, the strategy appears to be working.
Metaplanet’s BTC yield performance in the past weeks has increased by 18% year-to-date in 2025, while the firm recorded a 309.8% gain in Q4 2024.
This metric, which tracks the change in Bitcoin holdings relative to total diluted shares, shows how effective the firm’s investment approach is.
Furthermore, Metaplanet is not the only entity increasing its Bitcoin holdings. In a significant development, Rumble Inc. has announced plans to allocate up to $20 million in Bitcoin, while KULR Technology recently added 510 BTC to its balance sheet.
Furthermore, Japan’s mobile gaming giant Gumi Inc. is preparing to invest $6.58 million in Bitcoin to support its blockchain initiatives.
Nevertheless, Michael Saylor’s Strategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with over 478,740 BTC valued at more than $46 billion.
