Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has officially climbed into the top five publicly traded Bitcoin holders after acquiring 1,005 BTC on June 30. The recent buying, at an average price of $107,601 per coin, brings its total stash to 13,350 BTC, valued at approximately $1.31 billion. That’s a 10,000 BTC increase in just three months, making Metaplanet one of the fastest accumulating corporate Bitcoin holders in the world.

CEO Simon Gerovich said:

“Three months ago we had 3,350 BTC. Now we have 13,350.”

Metaplanet has now surpassed institutional players like CleanSpark and Galaxy Digital, so it’s not just participating in the Bitcoin treasury trend, it’s leading it.

Strategic Backbone: Bonds, Targets, and the 555 Million Plan

Metaplanet’s buying isn’t just opportunistic, it’s strategic. The company lately issued its 19th Series of Ordinary Bonds, expanding $208 million in new capital. These zero-coupon, unsecured bonds were completely subscribed by EVO FUND, so institutional support is strong.

Key Points:

  • Latest BTC purchase: 1,005 BTC for $108.1M
  • Total holdings: 13,350 BTC
  • Average BTC cost: $97,832
  • Bond raise: $208M (zero-coupon, unsecured)
  • Year end goal: 30,000 BTC
  • Long term target: 210,000 BTC (1% of total supply) by 2027
  • Capital allocated via US arm: $5B

Proceeds are being used to refinance earlier debt and expand Bitcoin reserves, all in line with Metaplanet’s aggressive “555 Million Plan”—a roadmap to owning 1% of all BTC by 2027.

Market Responds: Metaplanet Stock Rallies 10%

Investors welcomed the news with enthusiasm. Metaplanet’s Tokyo-listed shares surged 10% to 1,633 JPY, recovering sharply from last week’s dip below 1,500 JPY. Over in the U.S., its OTC-listed shares (MTPLF) saw a similar lift, with volume spiking to nearly 1 million shares.

Market watchers say the worst of the correction might be behind us. The stock remains below its March high near 1,900 JPY, but continued BTC accumulation and strong capital flows could renew bullish momentum in both the stock and its crypto treasury value.

Outlook: From Regional Player to Bitcoin Powerhouse

Metaplanet is no longer flying under the radar. Its combination of aggressive treasury expansion, institutional bond support, and a clear Bitcoin accumulation roadmap is quickly transforming it into one of the most ambitious crypto-treasury firms globally.

If it maintains this pace, Metaplanet may not just follow in MicroStrategy’s footsteps—it might soon rival it.
