Japanese Investment Firm Metaplanet Hits 5K BTC Accumulation Milestone, Halfway to Its 10K BTC Goal

The Tokyo-listed firm now holds 5,000 BTC, worth approximately $460 million at current market prices.

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has hit a major milestone in its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, reaching the halfway mark in its goal to hold 10,000 coins by the end of 2025.

The Tokyo-listed firm now holds 5,000 BTC, which is worth about $460 million at current market prices.

“We have reached 50% of our initial goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025,” Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich announced on X. “This is a big step forward in our aim to become one of the world’s leading bitcoin holding companies. We will lead the global bitcoin race from Japan.”

Metaplanet previously disclosed on April 24 that it had acquired an additional 145 BTC for roughly $13.6 million, at an average price of $93,327 per coin. The company’s Bitcoin Yield, its key indicator for assessing the performance of its Bitcoin acquisition concept, surpassed 121.1% year-to-date following its latest investment.

This move is part of Metaplanet’s broader strategy for Bitcoin treasury operations, which was launched in 2024 and aims to use digital assets to enhance shareholder value.

Metaplanet’s 5,000 BTC stash, purchased for a total cost of $428 million, makes it Asia’s largest and the world’s 10th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.

Beyond the investment firm’s goal of accumulating 10,000 BTC this year, it aims to reach 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026.

Metaplanet’s aggressive shopping spree has been fueled by a $745 million capital raise—dubbed “Asia’s largest-ever”—which is being designed around zero-discount moving strike warrants. The company’s “21 Million Plan” aims to give Metaplanet the flexibility to acquire BTC in tranches, allowing the company to optimize entry points and avoid unnecessary dilution.
