Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings reach 3,200 BTC after a $12.5M buy, surpassing Strategy’s latest purchase. The firm secures ¥2B to fund its long-term BTC strategy.

Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings Expand with $12.5M Purchase

On March 18, 2025, CEO Simon Gerovich of Metaplanet, often dubbed the “Asian Strategy,” announced a fresh Bitcoin acquisition. The firm invested $12.5 million to buy 150 BTC at an average price of $83,508 per coin. This latest purchase marks a significant milestone, as it exceeded Strategy’s recent 130 BTC buy—an unprecedented shift in the corporate Bitcoin accumulation race.

With this acquisition, Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings now total 3,200 BTC, worth approximately $266.2 million. The company’s BTC yield reached 60.8%, reflecting its aggressive strategy to strengthen its Bitcoin treasury.

Metaplanet’s Bond Issuance Fuels Further Bitcoin Investment

To support its long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, Metaplanet issued ¥2 billion (around $13.5 million) in zero-interest bonds. The funds will be used to acquire more BTC, aligning with the firm’s ambitious goal of reaching 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.

Evo Fund, a consistent backer of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy, remains the sole buyer of these bonds, signaling strong investor confidence. The latest issuance follows a series of strategic bond sales used to finance previous Bitcoin purchases.

Metaplanet’s Growing Role in the Bitcoin Market

Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has positioned it among the top 10 public companies holding BTC, according to data from Bitcoin Treasuries. While Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) still dominates with 499,226 BTC, Metaplanet’s rapid acquisitions suggest a growing influence in the corporate Bitcoin space.
