Tokyo-based treasury firm Metaplanet has bought 103 BTC for $11.7 million. The purchase was made on August 25 at an average price of $113,491 per coin.

President Simon Gerovich said Metaplanet has achieved a 479.5% BTC return year-to-date in 2025 and 29.1% for the quarter. That puts the company at number one in Asia’s Bitcoin treasury rankings and seventh globally.
Firm Aims for 30,000 BTC by 2025
Metaplanet’s strategy is not just short-term accumulation—it’s part of a long-term plan. In June, the company announced it wants to hold 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. That’s 1% of total Bitcoin supply.
To fund its rapid accumulation, Metaplanet is using:
- Equity issuance
- Exercised stock acquisition rights
- A $3.8 billion fundraising plan over the next two years
This mix of funding ensures liquidity for continued large purchases, in line with its aggressive treasury strategy.
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet joined the prestigious FTSE Japan Index, moving from small-cap to mid-cap status. This milestone, driven by its 18,888 $BTC treasury, boosts its visibility and validates Bitcoin as a corporate asset.

Stock Performance and Market Recognition
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin bet is also paying off in traditional markets. The company’s stock is up 147.9% year-to-date, despite a 26.9% monthly decline.
Its growing influence was further recognized when the FTSE Japan Index promoted Metaplanet from small-cap to mid-cap. The index tracks top companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, so the upgrade is a big deal for the company’s institutional profile.
Gerovich said the inclusion is a sign of Metaplanet’s evolution: from a hotel management company to Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury firm and a global player in digital asset reserves.
