Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin reserves with a fresh purchase of 780 BTC worth approximately $92.5 million, reaffirming its aggressive accumulation strategy and solidifying its position as Asia’s largest public holder of the digital asset.
The newly acquired Bitcoin was purchased at an average price of $118,622 per coin, pushing Metaplanet’s total holdings to 17,132 BTC — currently valued around $1.73 billion. According to CEO Simon Gerovich, this move has generated a staggering 449.7% year-to-date BTC yield as of July 28, 2025.

Metaplanet’s bold acquisition comes in the wake of a similar move by MicroStrategy, whose executive chairman, Michael Saylor, recently announced plans to expand their Bitcoin trove. While MicroStrategy still leads the pack with 607,770 BTC valued at over $71.8 billion, Metaplanet has now climbed to the seventh spot among publicly traded companies with the largest Bitcoin holdings.
The Tokyo-listed firm has seen its stock rise 5% following the announcement. However, despite the short-term boost, the stock has experienced a 6.9% decline over the past five days and a 16.7% drop in the last 30 days, closing today at 1,241 yen according to data from Yahoo Finance.
This is Metaplanet’s second major BTC acquisition in recent months. In June, the company purchased 797 BTC for $93.6 million as Bitcoin flirted with a new all-time high near $122,000. These moves are part of the firm’s ambitious roadmap to acquire 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027 — a goal that, if achieved, would see it rival MicroStrategy’s dominance.
The surge in institutional interest in Bitcoin has led to a reshuffling of the top public holders’ leaderboard. While Metaplanet recently overtook the likes of Tesla, CleanSpark, and Galaxy Digital to secure the fifth position, further changes have occurred. Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company and Trump Media have expanded their portfolios, moving into fourth and sixth places, respectively.
