Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has officially surpassed the 10,000 BTC mark, achieving its original year-end 2025 target six months ahead of schedule.
The milestone was achieved following the purchase of 1,112 Bitcoin at an average price of 15.18 million yen (approximately $105,000), bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to exactly 10,000 BTC.
The Tokyo-listed company disclosed the acquisition on June 16, revealing it had allocated approximately 16.88 billion yen (around $110 million) for the purchase. The buy was funded through the issuance of a new $210 million zero-interest bond to EVO Fund, which was also finalised on the same day. The bond is set to mature in December 2025 but comes with an early redemption option.

This move is part of Metaplanet’s intensified BTC accumulation strategy, which has seen the firm channel all raised capital directly into Bitcoin purchases. Despite the scale of its latest acquisition, the company expects minimal impact on its earnings for the year, though it pledged to update the market should circumstances change.
Metaplanet’s previous target, dubbed the “21 Million Plan,” aimed for 21,000 BTC by 2026. However, the company revised its roadmap in June, now aiming for 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and a staggering 210,000 BTC by 2027 — representing 1% of Bitcoin’s entire supply.
To monitor progress, the company employs internal performance indicators such as BTC Yield — a metric that tracks the amount of Bitcoin held per fully diluted share. As of June 16, the BTC Yield for the current quarter stood at 87.2%, following explosive gains in previous quarters, including a 309.8% jump in Q4 2024.
Metaplanet is also leveraging equity to finance its expansion. In January, it granted EVO Fund 21 million new share rights, issued in five tranches with flexible pricing and no discounts.
With its aggressive strategy, Metaplanet has become Asia’s leading corporate holder of Bitcoin, ranking eighth globally—a position that reflects both its capital-raising prowess and its unwavering commitment to digital assets.
